Port St. Lucie is by far the largest and one of the fastest-growing cities in the country; Fort Pierce is the historic seat.

Three names cause confusion. Port St. Lucie is the large, fast-growing city; St. Lucie Village is a separate, tiny incorporated town of 613 people wedged along the Indian River north of Fort Pierce; and “St. Lucie County” itself is neither — it is the whole jurisdiction both sit inside. None of the four CDPs (Lakewood Park, Indian River Estates, River Park, White City) has its own post office, so mail there is addressed under a neighboring city’s ZIP.<\/p>\n
