History of the metropolitan area designations
[edit]The Sarasota standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) was first defined in 1973, and included only Sarasota County. The Bradenton SMSA was defined after the1980 United States census,and included only Manatee County. The two MSAs were combined in 1993 as the Sarasota–Bradenton metropolitan statistical area. Venice was added as a principal city after the 2000 census. In 2007, the MSA was renamed the Bradenton–Sarasota–Venice MSA because Bradenton's population then exceeded that of Sarasota.[4]In 2009, the area was designated the North Port–Bradenton–Sarasota MSA after North Port qualified as a "principal city" under themetropolitan statistical areadefinition and was determined to be the largest of the area's three principal cities.[5]In 2013, the MSA was renamed North Port–Sarasota–Bradenton metropolitan statistical area.[6]In July 2023, the MSA was renamed to the North Port–Bradenton–Sarasota MSA,[1]: 65 and the CSA was renamed to the North Port–Bradenton CSA.[1]: 140 Lakewood Ranchwas also added as a principal city within the MSA.
