Neptune Beach Real Estate

Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Region, Duval County, Florida  

The name Neptune Beach means different things to different people.  Some people think of the gorgeous sandy beach on Neptune Beach; some think of the proximity to Jacksonville, but others think of the tax revolt that led to Neptune becoming independent from Jacksonville Beach!

Location

The City of Neptune Beach, a barrier island part of Duval County, is framed on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by the Intracoastal Waterway.  Just 8000 residents live in the town of Neptune, and they work hard to manage growth and keep a fantastic quality of life, while preserving the residential quality of the town. Neptune Beach is 2.5 square miles, neighbored in the north by the City of Atlantic Beach, as well as Jacksonville Beach in the south.  It is one of only three semi-independent towns in the area; the remainder of the towns in the Jacksonville area was swallowed up administratively in 1968. Neptune, however, maintained its independence.

History


The origins of the Neptune Beach name come from 1922.  A local resident, who felt that his house was too far to Mayport train station, had been told that in order to get a train to stop, there had to be a station.  Rather than continue to walk to the Mayport station, he built his own station next to his house, and named it Neptune. Sure enough, the train stopped!  While the station is no longer there, the name continues and the site where it made its home is now the Sea Turtle Inn.
