Founded in the early 1960’s by a small group of hobby enthusiasts, Saint James City Civic Association started as a “Hobby Club”. As the club gained more and more members, they realized they needed a central meeting place. Through fundraisers and generous donations, the ladies of the club negotiated the purchase of land in Saint James City, Florida. The seller of the property graciously donated one-half of the proceeds from the sale back to the organization to support the club’s vision, and The Saint James City Civic Association was born!

Bert’s Bar is composed of two buildings. The original building was the bar near the road. It was built in the 30’s as a “sweet shop”. Then in 1941 the hotel building was built. It consisted of eight sleeping rooms. During WWII, army bases were set up at Page Field and many of the soldiers would come out for a weekend to Matlacha to go fishing off the “fishingest bridge in Florida” at Matlacha Pass. They became regular customers of the hotel and bar. The hotel had the reputation of “ill repute” and ladies of the night. Imagine that!
