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. 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.

Today Ft. Myers is a metropolis bustling with historical, cultural, and ecological attractions – plus it's home to a vital and dynamic nightlife as the city is where the action is! This is where the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins Spring Training Camps are located, the Imaginarium Hands-On Museum with their interactive robots for kids, the Ft. Myers Historical Museum, Harborside Events Center in old Ft. Myers, cruises from the Yacht Basin, and the Southwest Florida Enterprise Center which is actively engaged in revitalizing the downtown area of Ft. Myers. Along the riverfront new high rise condominiums are being built, streets are being redone, cozy cafes are opening, and the residents enjoy the fabulous weather while going about their active work days. Well known communities in Ft. Myers include Gulf Harbour, Miromar Lakes, Moody River Estates, Paseo, Renaissance and The Plantation. With its centralized location and terrific amenities, Ft. Myers is a most desirable small city to call home here in Southwest Florida.
