Established in 1886, Fort Myers is the historical and governmental hub of Lee County. It is the gateway to the Southwest Florida region, which is a major tourist destination in Florida. The winter homes of Thomas Edison (Seminole Lodge) and Henry Ford (The Mangoes), which are both primary tourist attractions in the region, are located on McGregor Boulevard in Fort Myers.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 40.4 square miles .31.8 square miles of it is land, and 8.6 square miles of it is water.

Fort Myers has a year-round warm, monsoon-influenced climate that is classified as either subtropical or tropical savanna. Notwithstanding the classification, the area has short, mild to warm winters, with most of the year's rainfall falling from June to September. Monthly averages range from 64.9 °F (18.3 °C) in January to 83.1 °F (28.4 °C) in August, with the annual average being 74.9 °F (23.8 °C).
