About North Port

North Port, Florida is located in southeast Sarasota County and part of the Bradenton–Sarasota–Venice Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The city's population has a median age of 38, one of the youngest in the Southwest Florida region.

It was originally developed by General Development Corporation as the northern part of its Port Charlotte development - and originally named North Port Charlotte, and it was incorporated under that name through a special act of the Florida Legislature in 1959. By referendum in 1974 the city's residents approved a change to simply North Port to proclaim its separate identity.
