Chokoloskee, Census-designated place in Collier County, United States.
Chokoloskee sits on an elevated shell mound at the edge of Ten Thousand Islands on Florida's coast. The small island community is connected to the mainland by a single causeway.
Settlement began in 1874 when the Weeks family established their home, and growth accelerated after 1880. These early pioneers laid the foundation for the community that exists today.
The Calusa people lived and thrived on this island for centuries, leaving behind shell mounds and traces of their settlements. Visitors can still sense this indigenous heritage when walking through the area.
The village provides access to fishing spots, boat launches, and entry points to Everglades National Park. Visitors should know that accessibility can depend on tides and weather conditions.
Ted Smallwood's Store was registered as a National Historic Place in 1974 and shows the early commercial life of the settlement. The building offers glimpses into how pioneers worked and traded here.
