“central Florida port city of Sanford”

Idiot(s) in press cannot tell that an ‘inland city’ is not a ‘port city’. It’s at least 100 miles upstream along a winding river.

I will stand corrected if a freeper can tell me where I am wrong.

you're not wrong but they have a deep inland canal and have always considered themselves a "port city"

Well, it IS a port city.

When Florida was greatly undeveloped away from the coast, the St Johns River was an important commerce highway for a large area. Sanford was an important port for the transportation of agricultural products, timber, phosphates, etc.

Without the river, and it's port, Sanford would probably not exist. The great drop in use of the river does not diminish the port's importance to the city's history.
