Welcome to our City!
North Port was incorporated in 1959 and has grown from a small bedroom community to a city of over
77,000 residents. Now the largest city in Sarasota County, it’s a place where opportunities, activities, and community
pride are limitless. Our 77,000+ residents continue to enjoy and benefit from the five public elementary schools, two
middle schools, one high school and a charter school within our city limits, as well as the new state-of-the-art Suncoast
Technical College.
North Port’s 80 miles of waterways and over 20 parks allow you to participate in a variety of activities that
include walking your dog, kayaking, fishing, and biking. You may enjoy a swim at the new North Port Aquatic Center
or take a dip in Warm Mineral Springs. If you are more of an indoor person, the city has two indoor recreational centers
for basketball, pickleball, fitness and other activities. You may take advantage of the arts and culture offered at our
Performing Arts Center, take a class at the North Port Art Center or check out a book at either of our public libraries.
You may now take in a ball game at the new Cool Today Park (the spring training facility of the Atlanta Braves), which
also hosts a variety of outdoor events that include concerts and watch parties. Economic Development is thriving. As
new businesses continue to move in and open up in our city, we continue to see employment opportunities in medical,
retail, service and manufacturing grow. Residential communities also continue to expand. North Port continues to
thrive as a city where you can Achieve Anything! I am proud to call it home for over the last 20 years and I look forward
to contributing my time and service to help our city continue to grow and prosper.
