Post History

In the early days of development of Sun City Center retirement community, a group of retired veterans got together and formed a new American Legion Post to service those newly arrived relocated veterans.  Subsequently, a temporary charter was applied for and was received on October 18th, 1966, followed by the granting of a permanent charter received on January 26th, 1967.  Throughout the years, Post 246 has continued to evolve. 

On June 20th, 2012, Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Division of Corporation. Florida State Department under the entity name of the 'American Legion Sun City Center Post 246 Incorporated'. 

A supplemental charter as an Incorporated Post was received January 3rd, 2014 and Post 246 remains current to this day.

and Now Our Post Future

Our Post is unique.  Sun City Center being in a designated retirement community does not normally attract those who are active military duty personnel or younger veterans under the age of 55 who are still involved in second careers.  However, there are more people relocating to Southshore, Apollo Beach, and Wamaumu area that still commute or continue to work as professionals or want to continue to be involved in younger and even youth activities. 

Post 246 continually is seeking out new Veteran residents in our community and promoting membership by the transferring of membership from the previous post or initiating new memberships into the American Legion.  Join Us!
