Fort Pierce, Coastal city in St. Lucie County, Florida, US.
Fort Pierce stretches across 20.8 square miles of land and water along Florida's Atlantic Coast, featuring a waterfront district and numerous marine facilities.
The area transformed from an Army post established in 1838 during the Second Seminole War into an incorporated city by 1901, named after Benjamin Kendrick Pierce.
The downtown district contains multiple art galleries, the Sunrise Theatre for performing arts, and hosts regular farmers markets celebrating local agriculture.
The city maintains direct access to Interstate 95 and US Highway 1, while the Treasure Coast International Airport serves regional transportation needs.
Fort Pierce stands as the only city between Daytona Beach and West Palm Beach that maintained primary regional importance until the 1970s.
