Created by an act of the Florida Legislature in 1887 from Monroe
County; Lee County was named after Robert E. Lee, general of the Army
of the Confederate States of America. Ft. Myers, the county seat, was
established in 1850 as a fort for defense of the raiding Indians who
occupied the area. It was named for the son-in-law of the founder of
Fort Brooke in Tampa, Col Abraham C. Myers, who was stationed there for
seven years.
