About North Port

The city of North Port, Florida, has a long-standing history as a comfortable community to live in the state. With a city seal to match its reputation, North Port offers something for everyone who lives within its city limits—from services and recreation to valuable homes and a desirable economy since the 1950s. The city seal truly embodies the character and values of North Port.

With white lettering on a black background, North Port’s seal reads: “Seal of City of North Port Florida” around the edge, with “Incorporated 1959” noted on the inside of the circle. This detail indicates an appreciation for the city’s inception, and its history since 1959, as a place for thousands of Floridians to make their home. Knowing the history and importance of your residence helps you appreciate your part in the community, as well as the role you play, regardless of your sex, age, ethnicity, job, or education level.

Above the incorporation date is are two palm trees springing out of a green, grassy patch. A classic icon of Florida, both inland and on the coast, the palm tree dots the landscape as a constant reminder of the tropical climate and sunny skies that perpetually shine—especially in North Port. The palm trees, like the incorporation date, are about the ethos of North Port and its residents’ identities. Could anyone possibly imagine a Florida without palm trees?

In addition to the palm trees are images of two animals: a dolphin and flamingo. These creatures, again, are typical of Florida, residing in the warm coastal waters of the Gulf, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic. The dolphin is a social, friendly animal, regularly interacting with water-goers along the coast. The flamingo is also part and parcel of Florida life. As North Port is located just north of the Gasparilla Sound and on the Myakka River, the birds that occupy this marshland remind residents of the joys of tropical living, further reinforcing the quintessential imagery and identity associated with Florida.

Last but not least, the image of the state itself is present within the seal, colored gold—a reference to Florida’s sunshine—and with a small red heart located where North Port resides on the map. This city seal communicates the significance of home: what it means, where it is, why we go back to it regularly, and who we have in our home to make family.

North Port tutors, while not typically family to the clients they serve, become a sort of family with the time and energy they invest in the students they work with on weekly bases. They build strong bonds of trust with each of their clients, with every appointment they attend, like the residents of North Port build strong connections to the community and Florida itself, just as the city’s seal suggests.
