On the southeast coast of Florida in the 1880s; a quaint little community was nestled along the tranquil waters of the St. Lucie River in a wilderness of tropical beauty; one of the region�s last frontiers. As lucrative pineapple crops and the commercial fishing industry began to flourish; trade boats brought necessary supplies; and new settlers arrived on river steamers. With land available for homesteading or for sale at $1.25 an acre; the small village soon to be known as Stuart would become a mecca for innovative; hardworking young men seeking business and financial opportunities. By the dawn of the 20th century; the railroad had been established; and the town; forged by the fortitude of early pioneers; thrived; eventually becoming a beautiful; friendly incorporated city.
