# Higbee Electric Higbee Electric powered Stuart's growth through the early-to-mid twentieth century, bringing reliable electricity to homes and businesses across Martin County as the young community transformed from frontier outpost to thriving coastal town.
These staff photographs capture the skilled workers and craftspeople who made that progress possible, their occupational licenses marking them as essential tradespeople during an era when electrical expertise was still a specialized, and increasingly vital, profession. Their story is woven into Stuart's own, part of the infrastructure that lit up the Treasure Coast and enabled the city's rise as a center of commerce and innovation.
