As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the population was 158,431.<ref name="QF">{{Cite web |date=April 29, 2022 |title=QuickFacts Martin County, Florida |url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/martincountyflorida |access-date=April 29, 2022 |website=U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts: Martin County, FL}}</ref> Its [[county seat]] is [[Stuart, Florida|Stuart]].<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx|access-date=June 7, 2011|title=Find a County|publisher=National Association of Counties}}</ref> Martin County is in the [[Port St. Lucie metropolitan area|Port St. Lucie, FL Metropolitan Statistical Area]].

==History==
Martin County was created in 1925 with the northern portion coming from [[St. Lucie County, Florida|St. Lucie County]] and southern portion coming from [[Palm Beach County, Florida|Palm Beach County]]. It was named for [[John W. Martin]], [[Governor of Florida]] from 1925 to 1929.<ref>{{Cite web |last=National Park Service |date=1985 |title=Governor John W. Martin House (Report) |url=https://npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/7ba74672-4182-4567-9a0d-18cc30a260a1 |format=PDF}}</ref>

When the county was created, the western contour followed the shore of [[Lake Okeechobee]], as did the borders of [[Glades County, Florida|Glades]], [[Okeechobee County, Florida|Okeechobee]], and [[Hendry County, Florida|Hendry]] counties. Palm Beach County had historically claimed all of the surface of the lake as part of its area, to its benefit for the distribution of state and federal highway funds. The state representative of Martin County, William Ralph Scott of Stuart, initiated a bill to divide the lake among its adjacent counties, creating a more equitable distribution of state funds for road creation and maintenance. All bordering counties confirmed the justice of this change and supported its ratification, with the exception of Palm Beach County. Representatives from Palm Beach County later presented Representative Scott with a jug of water, signifying "all the water Bill Scott left Palm Beach County." The jug is in the possession of Stuart Heritage.{{Citation needed|reason=redistribution of Lake Okeechobee occurred many years after the creation of Martin County|date=June 2024}}

===Martin County Shore Protection Project===
According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Martin County Shore Protection Project includes nourishment of approximately 3.75 miles of beach extending from the St. Lucie County line south to the Stuart Public Beach Park in Martin County.  Included in the project is restoration of the primary dune and a 35-foot-wide protective berm.  The renourishment interval for this project is every 7 years.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|title=U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fact Sheet - Martin County Shore Protection Project|url=http://www.saj.usace.army.mil/Portals/44/docs/CongressionalFS/2015/Martin_County_FL_BEC_%28C%29_CFS15.pdf}}</ref>

The last renourishment of the Martin County Shore Protection Project was completed in May 2013 and included a Flood Control and Coastal Emergency component due impacts incurred with the  passage of [[Hurricane Sandy]] in 2012.  The next
renourishment event is scheduled for 2019.<ref name="auto"/>

The estimated total cost of this project is $69.9 million, $32.5 million of which is to be paid for by the [[U.S. Federal Government]].  In Fiscal Year 2015, no funding was appropriated to the project by the [[U.S. Congress]].  In the [[2016 United States federal budget|Fiscal Year 2016 U.S. President's Budget Request]] to the U.S. Congress, no funding dollars was requested for the project.<ref name="auto"/>
