Ft. Myers, Florida
Ft. Myers - City of Palms
Ft. Myers sits along the natural splendor and shoreline of the Caloosahatchee River and is nestled around the historic city center. Named in honor of Colonel Abraham Myers, the Fort was one of the earliest bases of operation during the Seminole Indian Wars in the early 1800s. Also, during its early history, Ft. Myers was known as a cattle town with pineapple plantations dotting its surrounds and it's thought that the term "cracker" comes from tough pioneers and cattle drivers "cracking" their whips as they drove their stock down McGregor Boulevard to the shipyards at Punta Rassa.Now a blend of young and old, Ft. Myers is known for its fabulous winter weather. Its most famous resident, Thomas Edison, spent his winters here seeking an alterative to rubber for Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone. His deep respect for nature prompted him to import the Royal Palms still lining both sides of McGregor Boulevard and these trees are how the city earned its nickname - City of Palms.
The Ft. Myers real estate market includes a vast selection. You may chose a "cracker" cottage in the original section of town, an Art Deco mansion on the riverfront, a gated boating community, newly built subdivisions, and every type of condominium living imaginable. Ft. Myers is very affordable, the schools are excellent, their business climate is receptive, and the weather is unbeatable!
