According to the St. Lucie County website, historians believed that the name "St. Lucie" was first given to this area by the Spanish. The name was given on December 13, the feast day of Saint Lucia.
The "Santa Lucia" colony was established between Vero Beach and Stuart around 1567, as shown on old Spanish maps that identified the area as Santa Lucia, what is now known as Vero Beach to Stuart, or the Treasure Coast.
The Saint Lucie Historical Society, tells us that what is now Saint Lucie County was known as East Florida in 1810. In 1821 the area was renamed St. Johns County. St. Johns was split into several counties in 1840.
That's when this area became Mosquito County.
The history of Savannas Preserve State Park, along with the surrounding areas in Saint Lucie, Fort Pierce, and Port St. Lucie Treasure Coast, largely revolved around the Pineapple Farming Industry.
In 1881, Captain Thomas Richards was credited with planting the first pineapple slips in the area. Soon after, he established a pineapple plantation and an estate along the high bank located along the west Indian River Shore.

The official slogan is the "Sunrise City", sister city to the "Sunset City", San Francisco.
Fort Pierce, like many other Florida places, traces its name back to the Seminole Wars. A fort was built at this location between 1838 and 1842 and named for Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin K. Pierce who commanded troops at the fort.
Pierce happened to be the brother of Franklin Pierce, who was the President of the United States from 1853 to 1857.
Settlers began to arrive in the area in the 1860s, and founded a small fishing village named Edgartown that had an oyster cannery.
The village was included in an incorporation that established the City of Fort Pierce in 1901.
Fishing and pineapple growing were the most important economic drivers in the early years of the city, and it also served the cattle ranches in the prairies west of the city.

This hurricane page is a compilation of important storm emergency information from the cities of Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County, Martin County, The State of Florida, national services, and weather agencies. Please bookmark this Saint Lucie Tide hurricane preparedness page! It contains all the information you should need in the event of an impending storm.
Palm trees were designed to bend and sway with the wind.
While some may choose to perform the dreaded "hurricane cut" to lighten the tree's load, excessive pruning can harm the tree's health and increase its susceptibility to wind damage. This technique can strip the palm of essential nutrients, especially potassium, which is crucial for growth and greenery. Pruning too much can cause fronds to turn brown, eventually leading to withering and death. Treasure Coast, just say no to the hurricane cut.
From March to September; eggs are laid in long strings, virtually indistinguishable from eggs of native "true" toads.
Cane Toads can lay up to 30,000 eggs twice a season —in long strings in fresh water. Both eggs and tadpoles are also poison. It’s easy to identify toad eggs; they are the only ones laid in long clear strands like spaghetti. The eggs look like a row of little black dots. Destroy the cane toad eggs by taking them out of the water and leaving them to dry. Cane toad eggs also contain bufotoxin and can harm or kill native animals that consume them.
Generally speaking, the adult cane toad has enough toxin to kill an average-sized dog in 15 minutes. The smaller the dog, or cat, the more seriously affected they will be. If your dog does come into contact with the toxin, early intervention is crucial for recovery. (more on this below)

Dear Residents of Port St. Lucie,
I am writing to inform you about recent developments that are critical to the future of our city and its residents. As you may be aware, Port St. Lucie has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, which is the result of development rights that were granted more than 20 years ago. Our City Council and staff have been working diligently to manage this growth responsibly and to ensure that our community continues to thrive.
Recently, on August 6th, City staff attended the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners’ transmittal hearing for two of their comprehensive plan amendments that we have been closely monitoring. The county’s comprehensive plan is its guiding document for managing future growth. These proposed amendments involve new developments that would add nearly 2,000 new units (homes) to unincorporated St. Lucie County, bordering our community in Tradition and St. Lucie West. The potential impact of these developments on our city's transportation network is significant, and the City Council and city staff have serious concerns that the proposed remedies to lessen these impacts are not adequate.
During the hearing, our city staff, including our Vice Mayor, on my behalf, expressed these concerns to the St. Lucie County Commissioners. We requested that the commissioners postpone the items until we are able to negotiate with the developers to ensure that the necessary infrastructure, such as roads and sidewalks, would be provided to accommodate the increased growth and that impacts on the City’s infrastructure would be minimized as much as possible.
Despite our efforts and the support of one Commissioner who recognized the value of further dialogue, the County Commissioners proceeded to submit the items to the state of Florida with a 4-1 vote. This decision was made without recognizing and understanding the City’s concerns regarding the impact on our roadway system. Consequently, the comprehensive plan amendment has been sent to the state for review without satisfying the City's concerns.
I want to assure you that the City of Port St. Lucie will continue to monitor these applications closely and work diligently towards ensuring that new developments do not create significant adverse impacts on our community. The City Council and I are committed to doing everything possible to manage the impacts on our infrastructure and quality of life.
The City of Port St. Lucie comprises 65% of St. Lucie County's population. As taxpayers and residents, your voices are crucial in shaping the future growth of our community. Your participation is vital to ensuring that Port St. Lucie remains a great place to live, work, and play.
We need you to help us voice our concerns to St. Lucie County. Please register to stay informed about upcoming meetings on this topic, where you can attend, or prepare a written statement to the County Commissioners to let them know that the residents of the City expect developers to pay for their impacts. Please sign up for notifications at link.cityofpsl.com/Informedpsl or scan the QR code below.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Together, we will continue to shape a resilient and prosperous Port St. Lucie.
Sincerely,
Shannon M. Martin
Mayor
