FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – A resident of Palm Coast is campaigning to establish a new county in Florida, named in honor of the country’s 47th president.

The proposal seeks to persuade state lawmakers and Governor Ron DeSantis to rename a part of Flagler County as “Trump County.”

The advocate behind this initiative, Jen Herold, envisions the new county encompassing coastal barrier islands currently within the jurisdiction of Flagler, St. Johns, and Volusia counties.

This proposed area would stretch from the northern edge of Anastasia Island down to Ponce Inlet’s southern tip, with the Matanzas and Halifax rivers serving as natural borders separating it from the mainland.

In the petition’s “Reason” section, Herold expressed her rationale for the proposed change.

“President Trump is a once-in-a-generation leader, a master dealmaker, real estate titan, and the greatest president of our time. As the first president to call Florida home, it’s time we honor his extraordinary legacy by establishing Florida’s 68th county: Trump County – a lasting testament to his impact on our state and nation.

This new county demands an extraordinary canvas, so we’re proposing a stunning 60-mile stretch of Northeast Florida’s pristine coastline. This jewel boasts breathtaking state parks, a world-class coastal golf resort, charming Old Florida towns, and the world’s most famous beach. With vast potential for growth and redevelopment, it’s the perfect stage for future Trump-inspired projects that will shine as brightly as his legacy.”

The petition was launched on Nov. 17 and has a target of 500 signatures, though as of Tuesday evening, only around 70 had been obtained. The petition has until May 16 to gather the remaining signatures.

Even if the petition reaches its goal, however, there is no information about what that would entail.

Regardless, you can find the full petition here.
