Known as “Constitution City”, it was here that Florida’s first State Constitution was drafted in 1838. It is a city in transition from an industrial paper-mill town into a tourist-friendly community focusing on its beautiful natural assets. Port St. Joe is the county seat and the heart of the county with shops, restaurants, marinas, medical services, and much more. The real estate is comprised of mostly older smaller homes, yet new construction and subdivisions have been under development since 2000. The appreciation in town has been steadily increasing since 2000 after the closing of the paper-mill in 1997.
