When Collier County was formed in 1923, Everglades City served as the original county seat, located 35 miles east of Naples, because Barron Collier selected it as the base for his Tamiami Trail construction project; Naples only became the county's center of gravity decades later after the road and rail infrastructure transformed the region.

Naples wasn't the first capital of Collier County.Ajouté :
Naples wasn't the first capital of Collier County. When Collier County was created in 1923, the seat of government wasn't Naples. It was 35 miles east in a town most people today only drive through.
It was Everglades City.
Barron Collier picked it as the first county seat because it was the base of operations for his Tamiami Trail construction.
The current Museum of the Everglades sits in a building that opened in 1927 as a commercial laundry.
One of the original Collier era structures still standing in the town.
Naples didn't take over as the county's center of gravity until decades later after the road and the rail had transformed the coast.
Naples didn't become Naples by birthright. It earned the position by infrastructure, timing, and the people who showed up after the railroad.
Every neighborhood in this market sits on a 100-year old chess game.
