As its citizens vote to incorporate, a new era is ushered in for Bonita Springs, Florida. This once tiny fishing village is now faced with preserving its past despite tremendous growth and shifting demographics.

The sunshine state has a rich and colorful history. For hundreds of years the state has attracted dreamers, opportunists, inventors and fortune-seekers. WGCU's Untold Stories aims to preserve the history of Southwest Florida communities.
