The county has no major natural lake; its main waterways are the Matanzas River (part of the Intracoastal) along the coast and Crescent Lake and Dead Lake near its western edge.<\/p>\n<p>Flagler County borders St. Johns County to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/volusia-county\/\">Volusia County<\/a> to the south, and Putnam County to the west.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Flagler County&#8217;s population was 115,378 at the 2020 census. Palm Coast is by far its largest community, with Bunnell and Flagler Beach next. The county&#8217;s median household income runs below the Florida median of $73,311, reflecting its mix of retirees and coastal service-sector workers. At 485 square miles, the county&#8217;s overall density works out to roughly 240 people per square mile, concentrated heavily in Palm Coast.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Flagler County&#8217;s economy centers on Palm Coast&#8217;s residential and retail growth, tourism along the Flagler Beach oceanfront, and county and school-district government based in Bunnell. Agriculture, once dominated by citrus groves that gave several communities their names, has largely given way to development. AdventHealth Palm Coast is the county&#8217;s main hospital.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Flagler County was organized on April 28, 1917, from parts of St. Johns and Volusia Counties, and named for Henry Flagler, the industrialist whose Florida East Coast Railway opened the coast to development. Marineland, founded in 1938 as Marine Studios, is regarded as the world&#8217;s first oceanarium and a pioneer of underwater film production. Wildfires in 1998 forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of county residents, one of the largest fire-driven evacuations in Florida history.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 95 runs the length of the county, with US 1 as its inland parallel and State Road A1A tracing the coast.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>St. Augustine &mdash; 20 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Daytona Beach &mdash; 25 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Jacksonville &mdash; 55 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Orlando &mdash; 75 miles southwest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flagler Executive Airport in Palm Coast handles general aviation; the nearest commercial service is Daytona Beach International Airport.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Flagler County?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is on Florida&#8217;s northeast Atlantic coast, between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Flagler County?<\/strong><br \/>\n115,378 people, per the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Flagler County?<\/strong><br \/>\n485 square miles (1,260 km2).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Flagler County?<\/strong><br \/>\nBunnell is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Flagler County?<\/strong><br \/>\nThree incorporated cities, two towns, and about a dozen unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Flagler County?<\/strong><br \/>\nMainly 32110 (Bunnell), 32136 (Flagler Beach), and 32137\/32164 (Palm Coast).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was Marineland known for?<\/strong><br \/>\nOpened in 1938 as Marine Studios, it is considered the world&#8217;s first oceanarium and was an early hub for underwater filmmaking.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/florida\/\">Towns and villages in Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flagler County is a county in Florida, United States, on the Atlantic coast between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach.
