| Fort Pierce, "The Sunrise City," is the county seat of St. Lucie County, and boasts a population of 41,590. Fort Pierce has a total area of 20.8 square miles, though 35 percent of that (6 square miles) is water. Fort Pierce lays claim to being the ancestral home of the Navy SEALs - the Navy's first Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs), or Frogmen, trained in the area during WWII - and is home today to the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum. The centerpiece of the Museum is the UDT-SEAL Memorial, a 500-pound, 9-foot-tall bronze sculpture of a model Navy SEAL, with the names of those WWII Frogmen and Navy SEALS that have died in their country's service carved into the black granite surrounding the sculpture and its reflecting pool. |
