Lee County, Administrative division in Southwest Florida, United States.
Lee County extends across 1,212 square miles along the Gulf Coast, containing developed cities like Fort Myers and Cape Coral alongside protected natural areas.
Founded in 1887 from Monroe County territory, the region developed after Fort Myers was established as a military outpost during the Seminole Wars in 1850.
The region maintains spring training facilities for two Major League Baseball teams, the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins, drawing sports enthusiasts annually.
The county provides emergency management resources through AlertLee system, keeping residents informed about hurricanes, evacuations, and community alerts.
The construction of Tamiami Trail Bridge in 1924 sparked a real estate surge that transformed the county from agricultural land into residential communities.
