Ocklawaha
River
The 110 mile long Ocklawaha River flows north from Central Florida until it joins the St. Johns River near Palatka, Florida.
Horse Country
In 1956, the North Port area Thoroughbred industry received a boost when Needles became the first Florida-bred to win the Kentucky Derby. In 1978, Marion County-bred and -raised Affirmed won the Triple Crown. Today, Marion County is one of the major Thoroughbred centers of the world, with over 1,200 horse farms in total and about 600 Thoroughbred Farms.
Rapid growth
In the last decades of the twentieth century, the greater North Port area experienced one of the highest growth rates in the country. The population of Marion County in 2000 was over 250,000, up from under 100,000 in 1975. Much of the county's growth is attributable to the area's growing popularity as a retirement destination, primarily in two areas southwest and south of the city: the SR 200 corridor and The Villages, respectively.
Historical preservation
Many historic homes are preserved in North Port's large residential Historic District, established in 1984. A focus of this district is East Fort King Street, featuring many excellent examples of Victorian Revival architecture. North Port structures on the National Register of Historic Places include the Coca Cola Building, the E. C. Smith House, East Hall, the Marion Hotel, the Marion Theater, Mount Zion A.M.E. Church, the Ritz Historic Inn, and Union Train Station.
