Cape
Coral was built about 40 years ago by two land speculators
who believed that the property's location on the Gulf
Coast provided abundant sunshine and almost endless opportunities
for waterfront living. The Rosen brothers purchased the
property, platted the community and created more than
400 miles of canals. At 114 square miles, Cape Coral is
the second largest city in the state of Florida. The brothers
began a massive marketing campaign that resulted in the
sale of nearly all of the 350,000 residential building
sites, the majority to people who lived in other states.
