ALL IN ONE REALTY GROUP, INC.
NAPLES, FLORIDA

In 1887, a group of wealthy Kentuckians, led by Walter N. Haldeman, owner of the Louisville Courier-Journal, purchased virtually the entire town of Naples. One of the first improvements Haldeman and the Naples Company made was to build a pier 600 feet into the Gulf of Mexico. The unusual "T" shape allowed large ships to dock easily. Despite being destroyed and rebuilt three times, the pier's "T" shape remains. In 1911, Barron G. Collier, who had made his fortune in streetcar advertising, visited nearby Useppa Island. He was so taken with the area that he bought over a million acres of untouched swampland - including most of Naples. Collier believed that Florida's west coast could enjoy the same boom that the east coast was experiencing in the 1920's; but first it was necessary to bring in road and railroads. Based on Collier's promise to help build the Tamiami Trail, in 1923 the state legislature created Collier County, of which Naples is the county seat. Collier spent more than $1 million of his own money to construct the Tamiami Trail, which opened in 1926 as the only paved highway linking the state's two largest cities - Tampa and Miami. A great deal of the fishing fleets moor at the City Dock at Crayton Cove. There you can charter a boat or rent one for yourself for deep-sea fishing and shelling excursions to one of the islands. Tin City, Olde Naples Seaport and Naples Marina will also set you up for a day on the water. Or simply cast your line over the newly remodeled 1,000 ft. pier in the company of other fishing enthusiasts.
