Historic Punta Gorda
Since the landing of Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513 A.D., Punta Gorda has enjoyed a rich and varied history with Spanish flair. Its own name, "Punta Gorda", is translated from Spanish meaning "Broad Point", describing the shape of the land at the mouth of the Peace River. The area was inhabited for fishing, like many communities in the Charlotte Harbor area, and still maintains the historic charm of a waterfront fishing town from centuries past.
Punta Gorda's 115-year-old "sleepy fishing village" appeal has been retained thanks to the efforts of a vigorous Revitalization Committee dedicated to improving the city's attractiveness and economic base. The historically renovated downtown area features cobblestone streets, shops and restaurants, and gas lights reminiscent of decades gone by.
Punta Gorda boasts a number of historical sites listed in the National Historical Register, including the A.C. Freeman House, Punta Gorda Ice Plant, and Punta Gorda Women's Club. In addition to these historical sites, beautiful and rare restored wooden homes and other historic homes with large front verandahs can be found throughout the historic district.
