History

The area that is now Punta Gorda was first inhabited by the Calusa Indians, who were the first Native Americans to inhabit the area. The Calusa were a powerful tribe that controlled much of the area from Charlotte Harbor to the Everglades.

In the late 1800s, the area was settled by pioneers from the United States. The first settlers were William and Mary Goff, who arrived in 1851. They established a homestead on the banks of the Peace River. The Goffs were soon followed by other settlers, and the area began to grow.
