11/14/2011 Florida Crossroads – Florida Remembers: The Fort Myers Region

The recorded history of Fort Myers dates back to the Calusa Indians who dominated Southwest Florida from 800 to 1700 A.D. In this segment of “Florida Remembers”, we travel along the river named for the Calusa, the Caloosahatchee, and discover how the area’s subtropical climate attracted a world famous inventor and hundreds of World War II veterans who made their home in the place known as the City of Palms.
