 place with historical importance, district, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places, historic landmark

These are the boundaries for the Ybor City National Historic Landmark (NHL) District, as declared by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1974. The district contained 956 contributing buildings with a period of historic significance between 1886-1940. Approximately 49 of these structures were razed in the recent expansion of Interstate 4, though some may have been relocated. The boundaries incorporate sections from the Tampa city neighborhoods of Historic Ybor, East Ybor, V.M. Ybor, and Jackson Heights, effectively straddling Interstate 4, which divided the neighborhood in the 1960's.

Founded in 1886, Ybor City is significant as a place of Spanish- and Cuban-American immigration, and saw populations emigrate from Italy and Germany as well. Also of importance in American industrial history, the district contains America's (possibly the world's) largest collection of cigar industry buildings, including factories, workers' housing, the ethnic clubs organized by Ybor City's immigrants, and the commercial buildings that served the community. Most buildings date to the early 20th century. Historically, Ybor City was a rare multi-ethnic and multi-racial industrial community in the Deep South and it is highly illustrative of manifold aspects of the history of ethnic and race relations.

The Ybor City Landmark District is one of three National Historic Landmarks within the city of Tampa, FL. The other two are the Tampa Bay Hotel (University of Tampa) and El Centro Español de Tampa. The latter is within the boundaries of the Ybor City district, but is also recognized individually.
