Punta Gorda Area Information
The city of Punta Gorda is a charming and historic waterfront town which traces its roots to a landing at Live Oak Point on the Peace River by Hernando DeSoto in 1539. The name itself means "Broad Point" in the language of the Conquistadors, and a colorful festival each year is held on Pine Island in Charlotte Harbor celebrating Ponce de Leon's landing.
Places to visit in Punta Gorda include the Florida Adventure Museum, the Ponce de Leon Historical Park and Peace River Wildlife Center.
