Collier County Celebrating Centennial
1923 - 2023
It's time to celebrate the first 100 years of one of the world's most unique and exceptional places, Collier County, Florida. Collier County was created on May 8, 1923, when Florida Governor Cary A. Hardee signed Senate Bill 149, Chapter 9362, officially creating the state of Florida's 62nd county. This subtropical coastal county in Southwest Florida has matured into a world-class community known for its stunning coastal scenery, pristine white sandy beaches, the Everglades, shopping, dining and a fantastic quality of life for its over 300,000 permanent residents.
The people of Collier County have a proven history of strength, resiliency and philanthropy. With that in mind, recovering from the effects of Hurricane Ian remains the county's top priority throughout the upcoming year.
This Collier County Centennial Celebration is designed to showcase and cultivate enhanced community pride. It will also commemorate and educate citizens about our remarkable history. The collier100.com website is where to learn more about the centennial celebration.
