Charlotte County is located on the west coast of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico. The county was established on April 23, 1921, and was named for the Bay of Charlotte Harbor. The County's Charlotte Harbor Estuary is an important natural preserve. Charlotte County is bordered by Sarasota County, DeSoto County, Highlands County, Glades County, Hendry County, Lee County, and the Gulf of Mexico. The city of Punta Gorda is the county seat of Charlotte County, and the only incorporated municipality in the county. It experienced massive destruction on August 13, 2004, by Charley, a category 4 hurricane. Although many buildings were damaged, it was an opportunity to revitalize the historic downtown and waterfront. Since that time, Punta Gorda has continued to grow and improve. Part of the Punta Gorda metropolitan area is Port Charlotte, an unincorporated community and census-designated area. Port Charlotte is the largest community in the county with a population of 54,392. It was named to the list of the "25 Best Places to Retire" by Forbes Magazine in 2015.
