Charming, funky, fun Stuart.

First settled by Native Americans in the 1800s, Stuart—then known as Potsdam—began to grow after the US Lifesaving Station, now called the House of Refuge, was built on Hutchinson Island in 1876. Twenty years later, after the arrival of the Florida East Coast Railway, the city was renamed Stuart and eventually incorporated in 1925 as the county seat of Martin County.

Today, downtown Stuart provides numerous restaurants, including intimate sidewalk cafés, offering a wide range of culinary choices.
