About Stuart, Florida
Stuart is the county seat of Martin County, set along the Indian River Lagoon and St. Lucie River with a history rooted in maritime trade, rail expansion, and natural preservation. The area became known as the “Sailfish Capital of the World” due to the high concentrations of the sportfish offshore, drawing anglers and boaters to its ports.
Historic downtown buildings reflect the city’s development from the early 1900s, many now restored and repurposed as galleries, cafés, and small businesses. With around 17,000 residents, Stuart retains the atmosphere of a small city while offering full urban conveniences. Its evolution from a seasonal fishing town to a year-round residential hub has preserved its character.
Hurricanes have shaped both their architecture and planning, and modern homes are often built to strict code with impact glass, elevated foundations, and generator systems. Local zoning helps manage growth, preserving riverfronts and green space that give the city a distinctive natural appeal. Stuart has strong road access via US-1 and State Roads 76 and 714, and recent investment in rail, including the planned Brightline station, has improved regional connections.
As part of the Port St. Lucie metropolitan area, Stuart sits within commuting range of larger cities while maintaining autonomy and identity. Active civic groups and heritage preservation efforts ensure that Stuart’s history remains a living part of its future.
