Fort Myers is the county seat for Lee County, Florida and is known as “The Gateway to Southwest Florida”. Fort Myers is the commercial center of the county and a major tourist destination. Originally inhabited by Seminole Indians, the area was home to one of the first forts built along the Caloosahatchee River during the American Indian Wars. Fort Myers provided access to Atlantic waterways and was a strategic location. Fort Myers was home to cattle ranchers following the war. Thomas Edison constructed his East Botanic Research Corporation laboratory in Fort Myers in 1928, planting exotic plants and trees in an effort to find cheap sources for latex in which to make rubber. Edison’s former home, “Seminole Lodge” is now a popular tourist attraction. Henry Ford was also a prominent figure in Fort Myers building his craftsman-style bungalow in 1911 which he named “The Mangoes.” Harvey Firestone, founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, was also a friend of Edison and Ford. These three prominent men were known to work and vacation together. They formed the foundation of what was known as the “Millionaire's Club.”
