Profile: What is now the Caloosa Belle began as the Caloosahatchee Current, a publication established in 1922 to help bring about the establishment of Hendry County. In 1923 Hendry County was, indeed, carved from the eastern side of Lee County. The county seat is LaBelle, which is situated in the western side of the county on the Caloosahatchee River at the junction of S.R. 80 and S.R. 29. It is about 30 miles east of Fort Myers. Hendry County shares a boundary on the south with Broward County and Collier County, on the west with Lee County, on the southeast with Palm Beach County, and the north with Glades County. Hendry County currently has about 36,210 residents as per the 2000 census. This includes a large number of Hispanics. It is an agricultural county with only two incorporated cities, LaBelle in the western portion and Clewiston (located on Lake Okeechobee) in the east. There are several unincorporated communities throughout the county as well.
Hendry is the Number 1 citrus growing county in the state, but development is certain, especially on the western side with an influx of "refugees" from Fort Myers expected to hit in the next few years. This area holds promise as an eco-tourism destination and is also a sportsman's dream with fishing, hunting and boating within easy reach. (Can you say "Everglade?" How about "Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation?")
In addition, if you can't resist the occasional lure of the bright lights, both the East and West Coast of Florida are within easy driving distance. Our Purpose… The Caloosa Belle is owned by a unique trust that enables this newspaper to pursue a mission of journalistic service to the citizens of the community. Since no dividends are paid, the company is able to thrive on profit margins below industry standards. All after-tax surpluses are reinvested in Independent’s mission of journalistic service, commitment to the ideals of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and support of the community’s deliberation of public issues. |
