Indiantown, Florida

The Seminole Indians settled in Indiantown in the early 1800s because of its fertile land and tranquility, but only had the land until the mid-1830s when the U.S. military took over and occupied the land.  It was not until around 1890, after the U.S. military had moved out, that settlers began moving in.

Further development of Indiantown began in the early 1900s when the U.S. military again arrived in 1902 and began to dredge the St. Lucie Canal as a drainage system from Lake Okeechobee east to the Atlantic Coast.  In 1924, S. Davies Warfield began his dream to make Indiantown the county seat of Martin County, bringing the rail line and also building the historic Seminole Inn.

Unique to the rest of Martin County, Indiantown is situated in the heart of Florida’s cattle and citrus country.

Here the charmingly restored Seminole Inn captures the twilight grandeur of old Florida. Nature lovers can enjoy the great outdoors at Barley Barber Swamp, Dupuis Management Area, Fox Brown Outfitters or Allapattah Flats.

Indiantown is a short drive from the shores of Port Mayaca where you can see a waterfront sunset while still on the East Coast. Indiantown is also home to Payson Park, one of the top thoroughbred horse racing facilities in the United States.

The Village of Indiantown was incorporated December 2017, being the first municipality incorporated in over 40 years in Martin County.  The first election was held on March 13, 2018, with the well attended inaugural meeting held at Indiantown Middle School on March 21, 2018.
