The City of Neptune Beach is a community of 7,500 residents
located in Duval County on a barrier island between the Atlantic
Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west. The
primary focus of the community is to protect the residential nature of
the City and to maintain its high quality of life through strict growth
management standards. Neptune Beach comprises approximately
2.5 square miles and is bounded by the City of Atlantic Beach to the
north and the City of Jacksonville Beach to the south.
The name Neptune Beach has origins dating back to the year 1922
when Dan Wheeler built his own train station next to his home and
named it Neptune. Mr. Wheeler had been informed that if he were to
build a station, the train would be required to stop. The construction
of the station eliminated his walking to Mayport in order to take the
train to work in Jacksonville. The station was located where the Sea
Turtle Inn is now located.
The area remained a part of Jacksonville Beach until the tax revolt
of 1931, when on August 11, the residents of Neptune voted 113 to
31 to secede from Jacksonville Beach and incorporate the City of
Neptune Beach.
The City operates under a City Manager-Council form of
government. Residents elect a Mayor and four additional City
Councilors which make up the City Council. The Council is
responsible for enacting ordinances and resolutions which govern
the City. The mayor presides over the council meetings. The City
Council appoints a City Manager who serves as the chief executive
officer and is charged with the enforcement of all ordinances and
resolutions passed by the City Council. The Chief of Police, Public
Services Director and Finance Director are appointed by the City
Manager.

"Neptune Beach is a city in Duval County, Florida, United States. When the majority of communities in Duval County consolidated with Jacksonville, Florida in 1968,
Neptune Beach, along with Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Baldwin, Florida, remained quasi-independent. Like the other towns, it maintains its own municipal
government but its residents vote in the Jacksonville mayoral election and have representation on the Jacksonville city council. The population was 7,270 at the 2000
census. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 7,120.[1]
Neptune Beach was part of Jacksonville Beach until 1931 when residents voted to secede and incorporate as their own town. The name "Neptune Beach" was first
applied to the area in 1922 when one of the few residents built his own train station, "Neptune", requiring the train to stop and take him to Mayport each day.
Neptune Beach is part of the Jacksonville Beaches community."
