Established in 1886, Fort Myers is the historical and governmental hub of Lee County. Nestled along the scenic shoreline of the Caloosahatchee River, the city has become an interesting blend of young and old. Extensive renovation of the historic downtown waterfront is underway, with new restaurants, nightclubs, apartments and artistic venues providing energy and growth.
The Downtown District of Fort Myers, with its diverse character, is a city that embraces its rich history and heritage, while
steadily progressing to meet the demands of the future. Encompassing only 540 acres, what downtown lacks in size is
certainly made up in its abundance of charm and character. An eclectic blend of architectural styles serves as the backdrop
to many unique shops, art centers, museums, live theater and restaurants.
Take the time to experience the warm hospitality of Old Florida as you soak in downtown’s scenic views…
from riverfronts to storefronts, Downtown Fort Myers provides a picture-perfect setting to shop, dine, live, work and play. |
