No employees outside to monitor the ginormous line of people. Line moved fairly quickly. Some people were up front as you entered the building promoting certain candidates or asking people to request special paper ballots. They were not permitted past certain points. It was a nice night so not to bad standing in line but if it was rainy or windy , not so much. Employees inside were efficient and things went smoothly. Next time I will definitely come earlier so I don't have to stand in line for An hour and a half. Oh. and someone just was soliciting us to sign a petition, when there is clearly a sign that says no soliciting past this point. They really need someone outside to monitor this and the safety of voters standing in a busy parking lot in the limited lighting. Sherriff showed up as I was leaving so things seemed to get better. I would add the people inside were super nice and moved things along but one poll worker told me they did not anticipate the massive crowds so they were understaffed...They did well, considering...

Florida became a US Territory in 1821 and forts were built throughout Florida to offer settlers…read moreprotection from the Seminoles. One of the first forts to be built during the Seminole Indian Wars was Fort Myers along the Caloosahatchee River. The fort was named in honor of Colonel Abraham C. Myers, who was the son-in-law of the commander of Fort Brooke in Tampa. Fort Myers was abandoned in 1858 and reoccupied by Federal troops from 1863-1865. The Southernmost battle of the Civil War, a fight between Northern and Southern troops occurred across the Caloosahatchee River in 1865. In 1866, Manuel A, Gonzalez and Joseph Vivas took up residence at the recently abandoned fort. Other settlers arrived and this led to a post office when it was platted in 1876. In 1885 of the community of 349 people was incorporated as Fort Myers. Some of the wood from the fort was used in the construction of the downtown buildings. The first mention of First Street located the center of Fort Myers was as a sandy trail on the 1876 town survey plat. Along the street was a church, Phoenix Hall, and the Keystone Hotel where Thomas Edison stayed in 1886. Railroad construction brought an influx of people and the population boomed causing Fort Myers to develop during the last half of the 19th century. In 1897 the street was lined with palm trees and in 1898 the city had electric streetlights. Fort Myers is nicknamed the City of Palms. By 1900 First Street was paved with shells for the first automobiles. During the land boom years of the 1920's, modern buildings replaced the old frame structures. In 1977 historic marker F-280 was placed on First Street. The marker details the history of Fort Myers and First Street. Today First Street has a variety of shops and restaurants in the historic 1920's buildings. Restaurants include Ford's Garage, Los Cabos Cantina & Tequila Bar, and he Lodge. An art walk is held on the first Friday of the month which attracts a lot of people to enjoy art and live music. First Street is the perfect place to take in culture, shop, and dine. It is a must stop on any trip to Fort Myers.

He founded the town of LaBelle naming it after his daughters Laura June and Carrie Belle. Tcounty of Hendry Florida was Captain Hendry. In the early 20th century E. E.

The Downtown LaBelle Historic District is a U.S. Historic District in LaBelle Florida that was designated on March 25, 1999. The three acre district is on the 300 Block of North Bridge Street. It contains nine historic buildings that reflect the development of this rural community between the years of 1911 to 1945. The buildings in the district were used for business, social gatherings, and housing. The primary architectural style is Frame Vernacular. There is also a Mediterranean Revival and Moderne style of the type that was popular in Florida during the 1920s to the 1940s. The Curtis Honey House is located in a mercantile from the 1920's. It has been a landmark here since 1954 selling locally produced honey and honey product. Rudy and Maggie's Me & My Girls Antiques and Home Decor in the historic Susan Doub Store and has become a destination for both collectors and browsers. The LaBelle Heritage Museum in located in the Historic 1912 William Hardy Poole Store & Residence. These are just a few of the historic buildings in this district. The historic district of downtown LaBelle is small and very charming. The district is anchored by the beautiful Barron Park on the the Caloosahatchee River. A stroll down the street is like a walk back to a simpler time. The city is currently at work trying to attract more businesses into this area.

It reads, "Downtown LaBelle Historic District. In 1895, prominent landowner and cattleman Captain Francis A. Hendry (1833-1917) platted a townsite at LaBelle, which was first settled as a center for cattle and citrus industries. A post office, general store, school, and a church were eventually built, and LaBelle became the first town and commercial center in what became Hendry County. Although Hendry is credited with settling LaBelle, E.E. Goodno (1858-1936), who purchased Hendry's former land holdings in 1903 and financed many of the town's first improvements, is recognized as the "Father of LaBelle." LaBelle's historic business district extends along and near Bridge Street from the Caloosahatchee River south to Hickpockee Avenue. At one time, both sides of the street were lined with commercial establishments, some of which featured living accommodations on the second floor. Sadly, many early downtown buildings were destroyed in a 1928 fire, but some have survived, including the Poole Store (1911), First Bank of LaBelle (1925), the Royal Poinciana/Newcomb Bakery (1911-1912 --one of the buildings constructed for both commercial and residential use). The Downtown LaBelle Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I did not spend much time in LaBelle and will be looking forward to returning.
