Cape Coral
was built about 40 years ago by two land speculators who
believed that the property's location on the Gulf Coast
provided abundant sunshine and almost endless
opportunities for waterfront living. The Rosen brothers
purchased the property, platted the community and
created more than 400 miles of canals. At 114 square
miles, Cape Coral is the second largest city in the
state of Florida. The brothers began a massive marketing
campaign that resulted in the sale of nearly all of the
350,000 residential building sites, the majority to
people who lived in other states.
The City
incorporated in August 1970, and its population
continues to grow rapidly. With more than 100,000
residents, Cape Coral is one of the fastest growing
areas in Florida. Cape Coral is the 2nd largest city
geographically in the state of Florida and is the 12th
largest city in population. The city features thousands
of waterfront residential properties on canals,
including many with direct, saltwater access to the Gulf
of Mexico and Charlotte Harbour. The supply and
affordability of these waterfront sites makes Cape Coral
one of the most attractive communities on the Gulf
Coast.
The city is
a large peninsula bordered by the Caloosahatchee River
on the east and Matlacha Pass on the west. It is located
between Sarasota and Marco Island.
