Cape Coral History

Likely said, Cape Coral has been around forever. It only began back in 1957 when two brothers from Baltimore Maryland flew over Redfish Point Peninsula and decided to build their real estate development with a small group of partners. It was originally called Redfish Point and began development as a master-planned, pre-planned community.

Development continued throughout the 1960s and eventually, the city was incorporated in 1970 as Cape Coral. It's been named in Forbes magazine as #9 of the 25 best places to retire and #1 of America's fastest-growing cities in 2017. The city has over 400 miles of canals navigable by boat and most have access to the Gulf of Mexico. The canal system is so extensive the local ecology and tides have been affected.
