The Estero community derives its name from the natural resources for which the area is recognized.

“Estero” means estuary - where a river meets the sea. The areas original inhabitants were Southwest

Florida’s Caloosa Indians. These early residents were stewards of the land and fierce warriors. The 16th

century brought the Spaniards, Ponce de Leon among them, changing the way of life for the Caloosa

forever. By the middle of the 18th century, through a combination of war, disease, and dissemination, the

Caloosa Indians were gone.

The Estero area remained a forgotten part of Florida until the late 19th century, when Gustave Damkohler,

the first settler to officially register a homestead along the Estero River, arrived. The original settlers

relied heavily on the river for their survival. They farmed its banks, fished its waters and used it as a main

source of transportation. The area, now known as Estero, remained the same until the arrival of the first

roadway and railway, in the early 20th century. The increased accessibility afforded the area an

opportunity to grow and prosper.

The Estero community, commonly recognized as a great canoeing and fishing destination, has experienced

dynamic growth. Even so, the community has been very careful to conserve the natural beauty of the

waterways, beach areas, and wilderness that gave it this notoriety. The land, location, and the beautiful

confluence of surf, sand, and sun continues to attract travelers, fishermen, new businesses, and new full-

time residents. The once small farming and fishing village has become a forward thinking community while

retaining the beauty and essence of its natural landscape that attracted its original settlers.
