North Port's original name was North Port Charlotte, but the Charlotte was dropped in 1974. North Port also is rich in recreational opportunities. There are two golf courses and plenty of fishing or boating opportunities, while giving way to 144 miles of waterways in the city, some with direct access to the Myakka River.
