Stuart, Florida in 1964 

I was born in Martin Memorial Hospital in 1975, 40 years later and im still here! I love this place!

Loved this video. I remember how Stuart looked back then. I was about 8 years old then. I was born in Stuart, as was my dad. I had all 3 of my children at Martin Memorial. Went to JD Parker Elementary, Palm City Elementary, Stuart Junior High, Murray 9th Grade, and MCHS. They even mentioned the startup of jobs at Grumman Aerospace which is where my career began and ended as I am now retired. Lots of great memories.

Born and raised here. I miss everything thing about it. Someday I'll return.

I miss Stuart the way it was in the 70's

I came to Stuart in 1972 and have lived there ever since. I was born in Florida so I'm a native of this state to begin with and have enjoyed our ultra mild winters for many decades now. We're usually at the beach every winter, which is something quite common here. Unfortunately, county taxes started going through the roof in the 1980's and just kept on going. It's *VERY* expensive to live here now, likely because every Tom, Dick & Harry decided to come down here to live and caused prices to soar to extortionate amounts. There used to be woodland as far as the eye could see but it's all been built out now and is *very* different from "the good ol' days" :(

Fascinating! This video is so 1960s! When it was made I was in 5th Grade and living in Ft. Pierce. Just 15 years later I became the band director at Martin County High School, where I worked from 1979-2010. I remember a great many of the businesses and other scenes from this time. A great memory!

I remember when Stuart was like this. Born in the old part (on the left when they show the new hospital. ). In 1955. Graduated from the High School. Still in the area, just north of the county line.

I am so glad someone posted this. I really enjoyed it!

Ha! I've been visiting Stuart for over 30 years. This was a joy to watch. Many thanks for posting!

The revolving sign indicating time and temperature makes it all worth while.

Such a beautiful area. I wish I stayed there.

Moved to Jensen Beach in 1976 and have lived in the area on & off since (made a detour back to Boston in the 90s). How lucky was I to have grown up in paradise ...

We found this gem 6 years ago. Just a great place to live.

memory lane! How I miss Fla

About 10 minutes in: A fishing competition in DECEMBER. Yes, you heard right - December. Only in FL! ^_^

im glad this was posted... i enjoyed it,Its cool to see where the town came from and where its going now..

Used to go to the Martin County Fair allot

I worked for a month or 2 in Jakes in Stuart in 1976. Wish I'd stayed there. Seems I'm stuck in central London for good

I was born there in 1968! We still have our original home in Stuart.

My hometown! Been living here since 1957 when I was 12 years old❣

I’m in Stuart right now. Born and raised. Never moved. Was born in that hospital. True Stuart Florida girl. Lol

i love this so much!

There was a certain kind of purity back then that no longer exists today. Morals, values, ethics, respect, sadly all but extinct today. That is a scary thought in just a 50 year time span.

Notice how the fisherman on the bridge are bundled up. You'd think they were fishing much much further north.

I remember Jakes

My family built Stuart

I grew up in Jupiter!!

Our beautiful Martin County before our county commissioners destroyed it by allowing over development.

Nice to see a beauty.

Taylor Ashley look it up

So Martin County has just always had its act together.

This is what it was like before my time
