Frequently asked questions

Englewood, FL

Englewood is a census-designated place (CDP) in Charlotte and Sarasota counties in the U.S. state of Florida. It is part of the Sarasota-Bradenton-Punta Gorda Combined Statistical Area.

Archeological digs in what is now Englewood discovered ceramics belonging to both the Weeden Island culture and the Safety Harbor culture.

One of the earliest white settlers in the area was a man named William Goff, who arrived by schooner from Tampa in 1878. He settled a piece of land just a few miles south of where Englewood would be platted. On July 3, 1895, a post office was established in the area as well. The Great Freeze of 1894 and 1895, along with a bad freeze in 1896, led to the decimation of many local orange plants. For this reason, by 1897, a Manatee County General Directory listed fish as the chief product for Englewood.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 13.1 square miles (33.8 km²), of which 9.8 square miles (25.4 km²) is land and 3.3 square miles (8.5 km²), or 24.99%, is water.
