Fort Myers

Southwest Florida city

Fort Myers is a city in southwest Florida on the Caloosahatchee River near the Gulf of Mexico.

Known for its warm climate and beaches, it serves as a gateway to nearby islands like Sanibel and Captiva.

Thomas Edison and Henry Ford maintained winter estates there, now preserved as museums.
