Englewood

Englewood is a residential area spanning across Charlotte and Sarasota Counties in Florida, with neighborhoods connected by local roads and waterways. The settlement contains numerous housing developments distributed throughout both counties.

The settlement began in 1896 when three brothers from Chicago established it as a citrus farming area. Agricultural traditions influenced the area's development for many decades afterward.

The area has become a community shaped by many long-term residents who have built deep local connections. Daily life reflects their interests and the rhythm they have created over the years.

The area sits at a low elevation, making it flat and accessible for most visitors. Roads connect the different neighborhoods, though they are spread across two separate counties.

The area operates under a special agreement between two school districts that allows students to attend schools across county lines. This arrangement shows how local authorities work together to provide educational flexibility.
