City of Port St. Lucie

About City of Port St. Lucie

The City of Port St. Lucie is proud to be a hometown where people live, learn, work, play and celebrate all of life’s opportunities. With over 245,000 residents, Port St. Lucie is Florida’s sixth largest city by population, and South Florida’s third largest city. Our city was incorporated in 1961 by a development group with a goal to sell quarter-acre lots to retirees. We were formed without key infrastructure – like sidewalks, streetlights, water and sewer. Over six decades, we’ve overcome all these obstacles to become an award-winning, diverse and thriving city for all people. We know now that what made us different from our neighbors has only made us stronger over the years and engrained a determined and resilient spirit in our citizens.
