Punta Gorda, Coastal city in Charlotte County, Florida
The waterfront municipality spreads along Charlotte Harbor, featuring networks of canals, residential areas, and numerous parks connected by pedestrian pathways.
Founded in 1882 by Isaac Trabue, the settlement gained prominence after the arrival of the Gainesville, Ocala, and Charlotte Harbor Railroad in 1879.
The National Register of Historic Places recognizes ten sites within Punta Gorda, including the A.C. Freeman House and Punta Gorda Woman's Club.
Punta Gorda Airport connects the region with commercial flights while Interstate 75 and U.S. Route 41 provide ground transportation access.
After Hurricane Charley in 2004, the city underwent extensive reconstruction, implementing new urban planning strategies and infrastructure improvements.
