Everyday I go to Downtown Fort Myers, I work there. owever, I have never seen it the way we did on wednesday on our field trip. Our teacher tolds us that Fort Myers was one of the first forts built along the Caloosahatchee River as a base of operations against the Seminole Indians.
IAter the war people from all over South Florida came to Fort Myers. They were searching for building material. Around 1870's a number of settlers began to moved into the area, and by 1876 there were enough people living on properly surveyed land to justify creating the community officially.
