The City of Crestview was incorporated in 1916 with just 500 residents. As of 2020 Crestview has over 27,000 residents and is the county seat and largest city in Okaloosa County, Florida. Nicknamed the “Hub City” due to its location and the role it has played as a connection point for the railroad and communities across Florida’s Panhandle, Crestview continues to be a beacon of growth and progress across Northwest Florida. As a partner of the Crestview Resource & Community Development Center (CRC) the City of Crestview has been instrumental in educating the Crestview community on the function of the CRC, and working closely with the CRC to serve our communities.
