Once, the only people to stroll Naples' seven miles of white, sandy beaches, were the Calusa Native Americans. The first settlers, Roger Gordon and Joe Wiggins, arrived in Naples in the late 1860's. A river and two inlets still bear their names. Throughout the 1870's and '80's, magazine and newspaper stories telling of the area's mild climate and abundant fish and game likened it to the sunny Italian peninsula. The name Naples caught on when promoters described the bay as "surpassing the bay in Naples, Italy." In 1887, a group of wealthy Kentuckians, led by Walter N. Haldeman, owner of the Louisville Courier-Journal, purchased virtually the entire town of Naples. One of the first improvements Haldeman and his Naples Company made was to build a pier 600 feet into the Gulf of Mexico. The pier's "T" shape allowed large ships to dock easily. Despite being destroyed and rebuilt three times, the pier remains today. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
