History

The downtown Ft. Myers field trip displayed much history. I never knew that we had a farmers market where many people sold local and organically grown crops. I never knew the Caloosahatchee Indians lived here in Ft. Myers. Or about FT. Myers was a party city at one point and everyone went to the Pleasure Pier. Or about the Garden of Palms that has many different species of palm trees from all over the world. Or that Fort Myers got his name form a particular general whose last name was Myers. And this fort was protected by African American soldiers who were apart of the Union and not the Confederate. The Confederate could never take over the fort. And that Fort Myers is one the most segregated cities in the US. There so much history within Ft. Myers that i never knew about, but now I know.
