The Vanderbilt Beach Area of Naples

The Vanderbilt Beach neighborhoods of Naples are nestled along a scenic nine mile shoreline that arguably offers some of the greatest sunset views one will ever encounter. vanderbilt beach sunset Vanderbilt Beach is among the more exceptional enclaves of Naples and to be sure, just as its name might suggest, Vanderbilt Beach possesses a certain prestige. Historically, this area of Naples was among the more than a million acres acquired by Barron G. Collier back in the 1920s. Originally from Tennessee, Barron had initially made a fortune through streetcar advertising in New York. After a visit to Fort Myers in 1911, he went on to create one of the region’s first hunting & fishing clubs and following an amazing series of land acquisitions, Collier went on to emerge as one of the nation’s most-intrepid and pioneering (not to mention largest) of real estate developers.

Collier named Vanderbilt Beach after Corneilus Vanderbilt

Barron Collier and Cornelius Vanderbilt

In 1923, the Florida Legislature established Collier County out of respect for Barron Collier’s financing of the work to complete what is known as The Tamiami Trail (an expanse along Hwy 41) enabling Naples to now connect with the Cities of Tampa and Miami. The trail passes less than a mile from the Vanderbilt Beach area. Many accounts suggest that Barron Collier was either a friend or associate of American Business Magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt; that it was this connection which led to the naming of Vanderbilt Beach. Of course, given that Vanderbilt passed away in 1877 when Collier was only four years old, it is more likely he was only enamored as opposed to actually affiliated with Vanderbilt.
