About Fort Myers
Once known as a "cowtown" in the 1800s, the popular Fort Myers area is now known as a great resort destination commonly referred to as the "City of Palms." Years ago, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford made Fort Myers their winter retreat. Today, visitors can tour the Edison-Ford Winter Estates, their impressive side-by-side properties. Each February, in commemoration of Edison, the city puts on a thrilling two-week extravaganza called the Festival of Light. Tourists are also drawn to the city's variety of restaurants, nightclubs and shops, as well as a number of attractions including scenic boat cruises from the downtown yacht basin, and the fascinating Shell Factory in North Fort Myers. Nearby, Fort Myers Beach and the surrounding barrier reef offer plenty of recreational opportunities. And each spring, baseball fans can watch the Twins and Red Sox at spring training camps.
