PANAMA CITY
Established between 1884 and 1886 Panama City was originally called Park Resort. A Post Office was opened in 1886 and in 1889 the town was renamed Harrison to honor President Benjamin Harrison. In 1909 the name Panama City was chosen when the towns people decided to incorporate. Interest swirled around the construction of the Panama Canal leading to city figures welcoming ships to visit the Port of Panama City in later years.
