Fact text
- Stuart calls itself the 'Sailfish Capital of the World', a title it officially adopted in 1957 and still defends today.
- The area got its swashbuckling 'Treasure Coast' nickname from Spanish galleons carrying gold and silver that shipwrecked off the coast centuries ago.
- A real pirate named Pedro Gilbert used a local sandbar as a trap for passing ships, and that sandbar still bears his name on nautical charts today.
- The town was literally called 'Potsdam' from 1893 to 1895, named after Potsdam, Germany, by a homesick local landowner.
