The City Under the Oaks
LaBelle, “the belle of the Caloosahatchee,” had its beginning as a settlement in the 1880s when the Caloosahatchee River began to play a part in Philadelphia entrepreneur Hamilton Disston’s dream of Everglades Reclamation, and had the double advantage of being on the western edge of Captain Francis Hendry’s vast ranch holdings in Monroe County.
