Did you know that Estero is Spanish for estuary? An estuary is where the river meets the sea. The heart of Estero is the Estero River – a big resource that brought people to the area; this area has now transformed into a beautiful, growing community in Southwest Florida, where residents can enjoy the warm weather and witness the state’s exotic plant and animal life.
Estero actually became its own village in 2014, and had its first mayor in 2015. Over the years, the village has become a fun, unique community with a vibrant economy.
