Whereas Charlotte County residents banded together to seek home rule through the

Whereas Charlotte County was created by an act of the Florida Legislature signed 
        into law by Governor Cary A. Hardee on April 23, 1921;
Whereas Charlotte County has grown from a modest community of less than 3,000 
        people at that time to nearly 200,000 today;
Whereas Charlotte County, Florida, boasts a vibrant economy based on varied 
        industries, including construction, health care, aviation, tourism, 
        retail, and services; and

        commemorative markers, historical archives, partnerships with local 
        historical societies, and a year-long schedule of events to mark its
