Kenneth City is a town in southern Pinellas County, Florida, between St. Petersburg and Pinellas Park, United States. Kenneth City was founded in 1957 by Sidney Colen, a local developer, who named the city after his son Kenneth Colen. The population was 4,980 at the 2010 census. Known as " A Safe, Friendly Small Town", Kenneth City has experienced tremendous revitalization and rebirth as a thriving community in the Tampa Bay Area over the past two years. Following the passage of a 2013 charter modification from a strong mayor to a council-manager form of government, the town hired its first manager since becoming incorporated in 1957. In the two short years following the March 2014 recruitment of a town manager, the town has undergone significant reorganization, and is continually striving to bolster its identity and gain well deserved recognition among the 23 other municipalities in Pinellas County.
