Naples is a principal city of theNaples–Marco Island metropolitan area,which had a population of about 375,752 as of 2020. Naples' USPS City population[3](i.e. the total population that lists Naples as the city on their postal address and who consider themselves residents of Naples) includes most of thecommunities in Collier County[4]with the notable exceptions ofImmokalee,Marco Island,Ave Maria,Everglades City,and a few others, and thus Naples' USPS City population is approximately 333,083.[5]

The city is mostly known for its high-priced homes, white-sand beaches, and numerous golf courses.[6]Naples is the self-titled "Golf Capital of the World", as it has the second most holes per capita out of all communities, and the most holes of any city in Florida.[7][8][9]The city is also known for being appealing to retirees, and a large percent of the population is made up of them.[10]

History[edit]

Before the period ofEuropean colonization,theindigenousCalusalived in Florida (including the region of present-day Naples) for thousands of years, fromCharlotte HarbortoCape Sable.In 1513, SpanishconquistadorJuan Ponce de Leónexplored the region and encountered the Calusa, who resisted attempts by de León to establish aSpanish colony in Florida.This initiated nearly two hundred years of conflict between the Spanish and the Calusa. In the early 18th century, followingslave raidsfromMuscogeeandYamaseeraiders allied with European settlers inCarolina,the majority of the remaining Calusa moved south and east to escape the raids.[11]

The city of Naples was founded in 1886 by formerConfederategeneral andKentuckyU.S. SenatorJohn Stuart Williamsand his partner,LouisvillebusinessmanWalter N. Haldeman,the publisher of theLouisville Courier-Journal.Throughout the 1870s and 1880s, magazines and newspapers ran stories about the area's mild climate and abundant fish and likened it to the sunnyItalian peninsula.The name Naples caught on when promoters described the bay as "surpassingthe bayinNaples, Italy".[12]By the summer of 1888, Naples had a population of about 80 people, and the first hotel opened in 1889.[13]Major development was anticipated after Collier County was established in 1923, the completion of theSeaboard Air Line Railroadextension in 1927, and the completion of theTamiami Traillinking Naples to Miami in 1928, but did not begin until after the1929 Stock market crash,theGreat Depression,and World War II. During the war theU.S. Army Air Forcesbuilt a small airfield and used it for training purposes; it is now theNaples Municipal Airport.

After a hurricane in 1945, a fill was required to repair the damage. A localdredgingcompany, Wyatt Brothers, created a lake north of 16th Avenue S, between Gordon Drive and Gulf Shore Boulevard. In 1949, Reginald Wyatt II asked Mr. Rust to sell him the 296 acres (120 ha) from Jamaica Channel to today's 14th Avenue S. The Jamaica Channel was widened, one canal was dredged, and 14th Avenue S was created. That same year, Naples officially became a city.

Today, the Wyatt family is credited with the construction of Naples' first beach. Additional channels were eventually added to the south of 14th Avenue S and are named Alpha betically for local water birds. The first channel south of 14th Avenue S isAnhingaChannel, thenBitternChannel is south of 15th Avenue S,CraneChannel is south of 16th Avenue S, Duck Channel is south of 17th Avenue S, andEgretChannel is north of 21st Avenue S. From the channels there are coves named Flamingo, Gull, Heron, and Ibis, as well as the original Aqua Cove. These initial channels, canals, and coves were dredged and bulldozed from themangroveswamps. Where shallow rock precluded digging, the land was filled to create lots with navigable water.[citation needed]

The Aqualane Shores Association was incorporated as a non-profit corporation on February 3, 1966. It served lot owners in the area roughly bounded by the Bay of Naples to the east, Gordon Drive to the west, and the land between 14th Avenue and 21st Avenue S, as well as Marina Drive, Forrest Lane, and Southwinds Drive. Thirty years later, in 1996, a state-mandated city master plan renamed the area the Aqualane Shores Neighborhood and extended its boundary west to the Gulf of Mexico, east to the Bay of Naples, and the area from 14th Avenue S all the way south to Jamaica Channel. The numerous canals and waterfront homes add a distinctive feature to the south portion of Naples and provide access to the Gulf of Mexico for many homeowners.

2017Hurricane Irma(Category 5) – Irma had maximum wind strength of 180 miles per hour (290 km/h), but when it made landfall near Marco Island, its winds were 115 miles per hour (185 km/h). As Irma hit Florida, tropical-storm-force winds extended out to 400 miles (640 km) from the center and hurricane-force winds extended up to 80 miles (130 km). This storm left over 7.5 million homes (70% of the state) without electricity for days. Irma caused 134 deaths and $50 billion in damage.

2022Hurricane Ian(Category 5) - Ian had a maximum wind strength of 160 miles per hour (260 km/h) while approaching Florida, and it made landfall atCayo Costaslightly below peak strength as a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).
