Slabs poured after Largo's citrus-packing era
Largo incorporated June 6, 1905, and grew as “Citrus City” once the Orange Belt Railway reached the area in 1888 and grower John Stansell Taylor built the first packing house in 1902; concrete flatwork on the town's older lots generally postdates that agricultural building boom, added as garages and driveways replaced grove and packing-house outbuildings.
Well-drained citrus soil and slab prep
The same sandy, well-drained soil that made Largo prime citrus ground generally drains well under a slab too, but any lot that was formerly grove land can still hold irrigation-era moisture patterns underground longer than a never-farmed lot, which is worth checking before assuming standard surface prep is enough.
