Collier

The Everglades wetlands define much of Collier County — protected swamps and marshes keep the interior sparsely settled, while the Gulf of Mexico coast supports tourism and boating. Big Cypress National Preserve occupies a broad stretch of the county’s eastern side, and the mangrove-fringed Ten Thousand Islands extend along its southwest coast. Naples, the county seat, pairs beaches with a compact downtown centred on Fifth Avenue South. Formed in 1923 and named for developer Barron Gift Collier, the county also includes Immokalee, an inland community closely associated with Florida agriculture.
