The History of Old Naples Florida
Until the 50s, Old Naples, Florida, thrived as a small oasis along the Gulf of Mexico known to select vacationers and glamorous celebrities who had discovered its charms in the 20s and 30s. In the late 1800s General John S. Williams, a senator from Kentucky, recruited Walter Haldeman, the wealthy publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal. In 1885, the two sailed down the southwest coast of Florida after reading detailed survey reports of various expeditions along the Coast.
