About Naples, Florida

Naples is a city in Collier County, Florida, United States. Before the period of European colonization, the indigenous Calusa lived in Florida (including the region of present-day Naples) for thousands of years, from Charlotte Harbor to Cape Sable. The Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens was founded in 1919. It started as a garden but officially became a zoo in September 1969. (Wikipedia)
