About Marco Island

It's home to about 17,000 residents and is the largest barrier island in Southwest Florida's 10,000 Islands extending to Cape Sable.

Marco Island History

Marco Island has roots dating back as early as 500 A.D., and some Spanish explorers have records discovering the islands in the mid-1500s early development of the island actually began in the late 1800s when clam digging became a major industry and carried on through the early 1900s. Ferry service began to the island in 1912 and then a road on the mainland linked the ferry landing with East Naples. Baron G Collier, the founder of Collier County, purchased a large amount of land on Marco Island in 1922 and incorporated the area as Collier City. While the city name itself didn't last very long, transportation grew and the Atlantic Coastline Railroad began service to the island after extending their route from Fort Myers and Naples in 1927. The real service has long been abolished as is the original name of Collier City. The first vehicle bridge was constructed in 1938 and significant development took place around the 1960s making it the tourist destination it's known for today. Marco Island was reincorporated as its own city in 1997 and today, remains a residential, sleepy, touristy, bedroom community of the Naples Metro area.
