Cape Coral Background
The history of Cape Coral is brief, making its phenomenal growth more remarkable. The city was the vision of Leonard and Jack Rosen, who purchased a 103-square-mile tract and formed the Gulf American Corp. to develop the area. On Nov. 4, 1957, the Rosens broke ground on what was to become the city of Cape Coral. Designed to be a “water wonderland,” Cape Coral is one of the largest master-planned communities in the United States. Initially, growth was limited by the lack of accessibility. It wasn't until 1964 that the Cape Coral Bridge was opened, providing easy access for residents. Cape Coral has emerged among Florida cities as the rising star of the Sunshine State's metropolises. Ranked as the fifth-fastest growing city in the United States and striving to attract younger workers as well as retirees, Cape Coral is positioning itself to be Florida's most livable and lovable city. Cape Coral has plenty of room to grow, as it is Florida's third largest city in terms of land mass. Growth and planning are the keys to Cape Coral's future, as thousands of new residents pour into the area each year. For more information about Cape Coral, visit coastparadise.com.
