Special | 26m 50sVideo has Closed Captions
Once a remote, tropical wilderness is now one of the fastest growing areas in the country.
Today, Collier County is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. In 1923, when the county was formed, it was little more than a remote, tropical wilderness with no electricity, no phones nor a single mile of paved road. At the time, fewer than 1200 people lived in a handful of settlements scattered across an area the size of Delaware.
