Get to Know Stuart’s History

This area was supposedly settled by two brothers that grew pineapples and constructed boats on the St Lucie River. This made it easier for people to travel back and forth without roads or bridges. It soon became accustomed for travelers to enjoy the juicy pineapples and fish that the population grew as more settled in the area.

Way before Henry M. Flagler’s railway reached that far south, today’s Stuart was named “Potsdam”. A number of the area’s first settlers were German and Otto Stypmann who was the first Postmaster submitted the name of Potsdam. When settlers of other nationalities arrived here, such a German sounding name was harsh to their ears. As time went on, Flagler’s railroad eventually was able to make it to Potsdam over a bridge.

This is where the town name became more of a headache to the residents. One such lady was Emma Kitching, whose husband owned land adjoining Stypmann’s land and whose brother-in-law, Broster Kitching succeeded Stypmann as Postmaster. Emma Kitching was particularly annoyed with the name Potsdam. One reason for this, and according to Emma and other outraged women, was railway conductors would shout out and change the name from Potsdam to Dam Pots. Of course, this would never do!

The railroad depot was originally on the north side of the St. Lucie River on land owned by Homer H. Stuart, Jr., the son of a prominent New York attorney. Homer purchased the land in the 1880s and endured the hardships of pioneer life for a few years. He had returned north, married and was living in Philadelphia when Flagler’s lieutenants were negotiating for a right-or-way. His brother Inglis, an attorney, offered land for a railroad depot requesting that it be called “Stuart’s Landing.” Flagler officials left off Landing, naming the railway stop “Stuart.” When the Kitchings complained about the name Potsdam and requested that the depot be moved south of the river, Florida East Coast official settled the matter by transferring the Stuart name along with the depot. Postal authorities changed Potsdam’s name to Stuart, at Broster Kitching’s request, on June 15, 1895.
