North Port

The City of North Port occupies 103 square miles of southeast Sarasota County midway between the cities of Sarasota and Fort Myers, near the Gulf of Mexico. North Port is one of the largest Florida cities in land area but is only 10 percent populated- plenty of room for growth!

North Port has an unspoiled natural environment where wildlife flourish among 95 miles of freshwater canals.  It is also the only city in Florida that contains a state forest (Myakka State Forest) within its corporate boundaries.
