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 of Cape Coral was 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 second largest city geographically
in the state of Florida and is the twelfth 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.
