City:       Indiantown

Indiantown is a census-designated place (CDP) in Martin County, Florida, United States. The population was 5,588 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Port St. Lucie Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Indiantown is the home of Payson Park, one of the top Thoroughbred horse racing facilities in the United States. The following trainers are present each year with their champion horses: William Mott,Christophe Clement,Roger Attfield, Shug McGaughey, John Kimmel,Tom Albertrani.

Perched on the St. Lucie Canal, the only waterway in Florida that connects trade and tourist communities on the Atlantic Ocean to those on the Gulf of Mexico, Indiantown offers different advantages to different interests.

To investors and land development companies pinched by rising costs and crowded conditions on each coast it is a logical and economical place to look for new opportunities in residential, commercial and industrial construction. Because of its location, Indiantown offers an almost unique blend of small town lifestyle and big city sophistication. Within minutes from a home where a pet pony grazes are Fifth Avenue shops, major and minor league baseball, Broadway shows, museums, art galleries and other attractions.

To boating people it is the home of the "second cleanest Marina in the world" and one of the "safest hurricane holes" on the East Coast of the United States. One of the older, yet modern, businesses in the community, the Indiantown Marina, was established in 1957 and is owned by Indico Properties, Inc. Located on the St. Lucie Canal which links Stuart on the East Coast to Fort Myers on the West Coast via Lake Okeechobee and the Calloosahatchee River, the 32-slip marina offers transient and monthly accommodations as well as dry storage for vessels.

The marina has a hoist and mast-stepping facility, a 30 ton travel lift, a ramp for small boats, gas and diesel fuel, ice, laundry, showers and heads, a Captain's Lounge, Ship's Store and a shady picnic area on the canal. The "second cleanest marina in the world" distinction was paid to the Indiantown Marina by Florida Waterways Magazine. Indiantown's marina is known to boaters everywhere.
