The Situation Of Fort Myers History

By Jony Mozen


America as a whole has had a rich background mainly it has to be traced from the earlier times of Civil War. It is impossible to narrate the Fort Myers History without mentioning River Caloosahatchee. It is within the borders of this river that it was located. The people who first lived in this land were the Calusa but by the moment of attack by the armed forces, they lived together with member of Seminole group. The region a scene for wars purposes that is why it was an option for the forces immediately after they were hit hard by the hurricane in 1841 Fort of Dulany.

Looking at the maps drawn by Army at around 1830, a person is able to tell why the region around Caloosahatchee River has been under considerations for all over the years. It provides a clear visibility in almost all points of direction, was easily accessible, and had a number of creeks that help the Calusa and Seminole to hide and run away from the enemies towards the entire side of Everglades. It provides a leeway for the Indians to move East of Atlantic Ocean or go south in Florida Keys.

Once the war was over, the Seminole group ran and created a room for the new settlers who at this moment were the left Indians who accepted to persevere the hardship but then established a cordial relationship with the forces.

Other special heads of the forces like Manual A. Gonzales joined the area of Confederate garrison that currently is the Fort Myers and recommended as the best destination to reside in together with their kids and wife. At some point, he did ship supplies and begin to do exchange of goods with the remaining lot of Seminole. He used to provide them with tobacco, beads and gunpowder in provision of otter, bobcat, deer and gator hides.

As the war was finished people came together and would start going to the region of Myers to fetch for building materials. Majority would come from the Florida whereas this occurred in 1864 to 1875. When it reached 19th Century, huge buildings were on course to completion while some have been just completed. Keystone was just one of them created on the foot of Park Street. The population had taken another shape and now the number had an estimate of around 349 people by 1885. Rich individuals could not wait to let the opportunity vanish, and from that aspect begun to move into the zone to establishing resident where they can hold up with their families among them being Thomas A. Edison.

Come 1884, the Ft. Myers was included in Lee County a new state that could then bring with it an establishment of second newspaper termed as Tropic News. Citrus industry followed in place into the south.

What would take place come 20th Century was the intense at which buildings were being brought up with. These were in form of residential places whereas there was the transport network that consistent of road and rail into other areas outside the city.

Within a period of 7 years after 1920, this was the time when major drastic change would occur in terms of structures and all manner of growth. Trade was eminent and from 1940, the same things have continued to happen in coherent with other surrounding regions.
