It wasn’t long
ago that Estero and Bonita Springs
were known mainly as points between
Naples and Fort Myers, easy to miss
if you blinked. Today, Bonita is one
of the fastest growing areas in the
country, Estero isn’t far behind,
and the changes there are impossible
to miss.
Estero was best known for Koreshan
State Historic Site, where the
Koreshan religious sect settled in
the late 1800’s to create a utopian
“New Jerusalem.” Remnants of the
society still stand at the state
site, where visitors can learn about
their unusual belief system and
strange history. The park is also
well known for its recreation
opportunities. Right on the banks of
the Estero River, people travel
there to camp, fish, picnic, and
relax in the natural setting.
Since Florida Gulf Coast University
opened in 1997, Estero is blooming
with other opportunities, including
Miromar Outlets, which draws
shoppers from miles around, and
Germain Arena, home to the Florida
Everblades hockey team, where
special productions are regularly
staged.
Estero is a vibrant community where
home-town charm, friendliness and
environmental preservation prevail.
A river-side paradise, abundantly
blessed with natural beauty, Estero
enchants visitors and residents
alike.
