More About Indiantown

Indiantown is located in Martin County, Florida. Its history began as a trading post created by the Seminole Indians. The tribes that settled there were fleeing the US
army following the First Seminole War. It remained a Seminole trading post until the 1890’s when white settlers began moving in. Residents of Indiantown benefited
from a road that connected the town to Jupiter, Florida. This connection allowed the town to benefit from the resources of the coast and larger cities growing there.
Trading with the natives continued to be a major part of the town’s economy. The area was transformed into citrus groves and was used to trade with the Seminoles
in the area. Throughout the 1900’s the community was heavily impacted by transportation developments in the area. This included the completion of a state
highway and the Seaboard Airline Railway.

Today

Indiantown’s population is around 7,000 people today. The local economy relies heavily on agriculture and the community’s placement between several major roads
and transportation networks. The town has recently been putting a concerted effort into revitalizing the once famous Circle T Rodeo in order to bring some of Palm
Beach County’s famous tourism to the town.
