Fort Myers -  Once known as a “cowtown” in the 1800s, the Fort Myers area is now a popular resort destination commonly referred to as the “City of Palms.” Thomas Edison and Henry Ford made Fort Myers their special winter retreat. Today, visitors can tour the Edison-Ford Winter Estates, their impressive side-by-side properties. 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. Fort Myers Beach and the surrounding barrier reef offer plenty of recreational opportunities.
