Palm Coast Florida 

Welcome to Palm Coast Florida!

One of Flagler County's favorite locales, Palm Coast is a charming "Old Florida" city by the sea. Since its early days, Palm Coast has been able to properly maintain and preserve its ecologically diverse backdrop, while paving the way for residents to establish themselves and their future in Palm Coast. The city has been of much interest as a desireable, coastal northeastern Florida locale for quite sometime. Vacationers looking for fun in the sun and new homebuyers following their dreams all have found themselves at home in Palm Coast. The vibrant landscape, pleasing climate and miles of shoreline have attracted thousands of people throughout the years to the city of Palm Coast.

Development of the area began in 1969, where 48,000 home sites were planned spanning over 42,000 acres of Florida land. The paved roads, central water and sewer systems of Palm Coast were all developed at this time, bringing growth opportunities and access to the area. At this time as well, Palm Coast's extensive water management system was designed to lessen the development's impact on the environment. This water management system included 46 miles of freshwater canals and 23 miles of saltwater canals. This environmental measure had one great side effect though, it brought about some of Palm Coast's most treasured features; stellar vistas for many residents and boating access into the Intracoastal Waterway were now commonplace in this budding township.

Soon after Palm Coast decided to become an incorporated city and form a centralized local government. In 1999, the official City of Palm Coast was incorporated and by 2000, all services were transferred from the former Service District to the newly formed city. Development services, police and rescue services, street construction and maintenance, parks and recreational activities were all now under the guidance of the City of Palm Coast. This change has provided the city with the ability to more accurately care for and assess the services it provides to residents, and plan for a brighter tomorrow for both current and future citizens of Palm Coast Florida.

Palm Coast is known for its ability to couple small town sensibilities with larger city and modern day convenience, making it a shining example of great Florida living. At its heart, Palm Coast embodies all the characteristics of a classic Florida town- a supportive community that embraces its natural settings- while also providing the proper foundation for businesses and other modern industries to flourish as well. Palm Coast has adopted a process of an Economic Development Strategic Plan to better showcase the city has prospective target market.

The city prides itself on being able to provide some of the most accessible and organized opportunities for outdoor leisure.
