More about the book
The narrative traces the evolution of a renowned beach resort in southwest Florida, beginning in 1885 and culminating in the aftermath of Hurricane Donna in 1960. Initially a retreat for those seeking refuge from winter, Naples transformed from a boat-accessible haven with minimal infrastructure to a burgeoning community following the arrival of train service and the Tamiami Trail. Despite setbacks during the Depression, post-World War II revitalization led to rapid growth, establishing Naples as a popular destination before the hurricane's impact.
