In 2004, Hurricane Charley lasted from August 9 to 15, and was one of the strongest hurricanes ever to strike the United States. At its peak intensity it attained 150 mph winds, making it a strong Category 4 hurricane which made landfall in Southwest Florida devastating the Peace River corridor and both Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte.
Port Charlotte has since demonstrated remarkable resilience, transforming itself into a thriving and vibrant community after the impact of Hurricane Charley. The town continues to attract new residents and visitors with its scenic beauty and abundant amenities. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy kayaking along the Blueway Trails, fishing in the pristine waters of Charlotte Harbor, or exploring the mangroves and wildlife habitats of Alligator Bay. With its mix of natural attractions, cultural offerings, and a welcoming atmosphere, Port Charlotte has become a destination that blends relaxation with recreation, making it a great place to live or visit.
