Kenneth City is a town located in southern Pinellas County, Florida, between St. Petersburg and Pinellas Park, in the United States. Kenneth City was founded in 1957 by Sidney Colen, a local developer, who named the city after his son Kenneth Colen [http://books.google.com/books?id=dp5kwOwlBeYC&pg=PT148&lpg=PT148&dq=kenneth+city,+florida++colen&source=web&ots=EEvS0BMUBn&sig=wmqC-eKF-J1VKRNrMl4eV_zlDZA&hl=en] . The population was 4,400 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 4,420 [http://www.census.gov/popest/cities/tables/SUB-EST2004-04-12.xls] . The town, small in area and set amidst dense residential developments mostly with otherwise indistinguishable town boundaries, has earned a reputation as a speed trap town for the vigorous enforcement of its lower speed limits.
