Other Details:
Over the years, many inquiries have been made about the true history of the Veranda Restaurant. We read some local history books and feel we have compiled a concise, accurate account of the history of the Veranda. Driven farther South by each treaty, Indians had retreated to south Florida, where they lived in peace. Cattlemen wanted their grazing lands, however, so Congress offered Indians a bounty to move west, and when they refused, sent in troops. In early 1850, a fort on the Caloosahatchee River was reactivated and named for Colonel Abraham Myers. It contained 57 buildings, a hospital, lawns and gardens; Manuel Gonzales delivered supplies and mail in his sloop.
