Happy National Go Fishing Day! 🎣

Before smartphones and social media, anglers had another way to celebrate a successful catch. Many local marinas maintained display boards where fishermen could hang their fish and pose for a commemorative photograph.

Martin Digital History features many of these images, offering a glimpse into the fishing traditions that helped define life along Florida's Treasure Coast. As a participatory archive, Martin Digital History welcomes contributions that help preserve and share our region's history.

Happy National "Eat Your Vegetables" Day (or perhaps wear them)! 🗓️

The Stuart Jaycee-Ettes were known for their creative fundraising activities in the 1950s, including events such as "Crazy Hat Days." When the organization was established in 1947, its members were surprised to learn that they were expected to serve primarily as support staff for the men's Jaycees. Instead, they chose a different path and secured their own charter.

Pictured here are Ella "Mike" Clark, who later helped establish the Environmental Studies Center in 1972, along with an unidentified woman and Rose Czverko Taylor. Their story reflects the leadership and community involvement of local women during a period of significant change. Martin Digital History preserves thousands of photographs like this one, documenting the people, organizations, and events that shaped our community.

Did you know the original name of Stuart was "Potsdam"? 📬

According to a history recorded by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1936, Walter Kitching asked the Florida East Coast Railway, after donating land for the depot, to change the town's name, but requested that his own name not be associated with the change.

The post office officially changed the name to Stuart on June 15, 1895. This fascinating piece of local history is preserved through Martin Digital History, a participatory archive dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of Martin County and the Treasure Coast.
