Fort Myers Downtown Commercial District, Historic district in Fort Myers, United States.

The Fort Myers Downtown Commercial District is a historic shopping and business area featuring rows of early 20th-century buildings with brick-paved streets running between Bay Street and Monroe Street. The district connects multiple blocks of shops, galleries, and dining establishments for visitors to explore.

The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, preserving structures that document early 20th-century commercial development in the region. This designation helped protect the area's architectural heritage and historical significance.

The district is made up mainly of small local shops rather than chain stores, and its 69 historic buildings line the blocks between Bay and Lee Streets, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Monroe Street. Edison and Ford kept summer homes off nearby McGregor Boulevard, and tours of those estates are offered.

The district is bounded by Bay and Lee Streets, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Monroe Street, so any of these edges works as an entry point. It holds 69 historic buildings across several blocks, mostly local shops, and the Edison and Ford winter estates off nearby McGregor Boulevard can be toured separately.

The area sits near the former winter estates of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, connecting this downtown district to the homes of two legendary inventors and industrialists. Walking through these streets connects you to the story of two men who shaped modern American industry.
