About North Port
North Port is a city in Sarasota County, Florida, United States. The population was 74,793 at the 2020 census. It is a principal city in the Sarasota metropolitan area.
It was originally developed by General Development Corporation (GDC) as the northern Sarasota County portion of its Port Charlotte development, the other portion located in the adjacent Charlotte County. GDC dubbed the city, "North Port Charlotte", and it was incorporated under that name through a special act of the Florida Legislature on June 18, 1959. By referendum in 1974, the city's residents approved a change to its name as "North Port", dropping "Charlotte" from its name to proclaim the city as a separate identity. It is home to the Little Salt Spring, an archaeological and paleontological site owned by the University of Miami.
North Port includes Wellen Park, a community of over 7,000 acres with distinct neighborhoods, and a vibrant downtown.
