In the 1940s, Naples, Florida was little more than a bend in the road, a one stoplight town in the boondocks and barely on the map. Thirty years later, the backwater was a boomtown, and Naples was reputed to have more golf courses and millionaires per capita, than any other city in America.

The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortuneseekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.
