  History     

Located on the picturesque West Coast of Florida, between Sarasota and Fort Myers, the Charlotte County area is home to clear skies, pristine waters, and beautiful sunsets...
          Port Charlotte - A small community in Charlotte County approximately halfway between Sarasota and Ft. Myers on the west coast of the state and more commonly known as the " Sun coast" of Florida. Located between the Peace and Myakka rivers we have access to both Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico from approximately 165 miles of navigable waterways       

 
        Port Charlotte is a relatively new community developed in the late 1950's. It encompasses the unincorporated area of Charlotte County and is comprised mostly of single family homes with a spattering of condos and town homes. The county has an area of approximately 820 square miles and a population of approximately 127,000 (1995). Port Charlotte has a small town nature but offers the advantages of city life nearby. (Ft. Myers only 20 minutes and Sarasota only 40 minutes).


        Port Charlotte is located North of the Peace River and has access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico via a series of canals and waterways that total more than 165 miles in length. There are miles of natural shoreline bordering the Harbor and rivers, making it an ideal choice for waterfront living. Port Charlotte offers recreational activities for every lifestyle, including golf courses, yacht clubs, parks, and more.


        Port Charlotte Beach State Park has a wide expanse of sand where walking is a favorite pastime for many. Here you can kayak or canoe along the banks of the pristine Peace and Myakka Rivers.


        Celebrated every Labor Day Weekend, Englewood commemorates the pioneers who were responsible for its origin in 1896. Golf and fishing tournaments, boat races and a huge parade bring this community to life. Other annual celebrations include an Art Guild Show, Seafood Festival, July Beach Bash with Fireworks, as well as the annual Turtle Watch. When Sea Turtles come ashore to lay their eggs in the sand.
