Englewood is a census-designated place (CDP) in Charlotte and Sarasota counties in the U.S. state of Florida.

It is part of the North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area.

[4][5] One of the earliest white settlers in the area was William Goff, who arrived by schooner from Tampa in 1878.

[6] He settled a piece of land a few miles south of where Englewood would be platted.

For this reason, by 1897, a Manatee County General Directory listed fish as the chief product for Englewood.

There were 2,626 veterans living in the city and 7.2% of the population were foreign born persons.

Popular entertainment includes the beach, restaurants, and a small shopping district located primarily along Dearborn Street.
