An avid fisherman, Barron Collier seemed destined to do battle with the Blackfin Tuna, Cobia, Mahi and Flounder found in the waters of Florida. An advertising extraordinaire and real estate developer, Collier County was named in the honor of Barron Collier after he financed the construction of the Tamiami Trail, the southernmost portion of highway 41 connecting Tampa and Miami and extending the road from Naples through the Everglades National Park. Following the roads construction, Collier famously quipped “When I first came here on holiday with Juliet, I never expected that I would buy a whole region of it, nor did I expect to pay for the new Tamiami Trail, or half the things I’ve done. But I really didn’t expect to have a whole county named after me.”
Established in 1923 from a portion of Lee County, the area has a robust population of 321,520. Since the year 2000, the total number of residents has expanded by 28 percent. Known for its diversity, 35 percent of inhabitants are registered as non-White. Because of the large Hispanic population, an estimated 20 percent of inhabitants are bilingual, Spanish speaking.
