Noted for its small town feel, Charlotte County is primarily an agricultural producer and residential county. Spread out over 858 square miles, and located along the southern coast of Florida, roughly 160,000 people call the county home. Founded in 1921, Charlotte County is named for the Charlotte Bay, originally called Carlos Bay by the Spanish; the name change was carried out to honor Queen Charlotte Sophia, wife of King George III.
The total population of Charlotte County is 159.978, with a robust portion of residents living in Punta Gorda, the only incorporated city in the county. Having been settled in the 1880’s, numerous historic buildings are found in Punta Gorda, including the A.C. Freeman House, H.W. Smith Building and the Old First National Bank of Punta Gorda. The Old Charlotte County Courthouse built in 1927 after remodeling remains in use to this day.
Governed by a commission of five elected officials, all serving for year terms, the county is historically split along Democratic and Republican lines. The previous seven presidential elections have seen a Republican candidate take the county.
A subtropical climate, impacted by the Gulf is high in humidity and thunderstorms. Noted for its pleasant, sun-filled winters, locals enjoy year round golf and boating. The Charlotte Harbor estuary is a beautiful portion of Charlotte Harbor, defined by its sand bars, loggerhead sea turtles and sturgeon.
With a median home cost of $138,000, an unemployment rate of only 5.50 percent, a cost of living 3.30 percent lower than the American average and a public school expenditure of $1,000 more per student than the national average, it is easy to understand why the population has grown by 13 percent since the year 2000.
