North Port covers over 100 square miles in southern Sarasota County, making it one of the largest cities by area in Florida despite a population of roughly 62,300. Much of that land was platted in the 1960s by General Development Corporation, a homebuilder that sold lots by mail to buyers across the country, many of whom never built on them. The result was a patchwork of vacant lots, scattered homes, and unpaved roads that took decades to fill in. The pace of construction picked up sharply after 2000 as land prices in coastal Sarasota and Charlotte counties pushed buyers inland.
The Myakkahatchee Creek runs through the eastern part of the city and feeds into the Myakka River system. Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park preserves a corridor of native habitat along the waterway. Warm Mineral Springs, a sinkhole fed by naturally heated mineral water, draws visitors who believe in the water's therapeutic properties. Archaeological finds at the spring site date human presence to over 10,000 years ago.
Growth has strained infrastructure. Roads designed for a fraction of the current traffic load are being widened. New schools, fire stations, and commercial development have followed the residential wave. A town center project along the US 41 corridor has been proposed and revised multiple times as the city tries to create a walkable downtown that does not yet exist.
