Historical Facts

Estero, Florida, has a rich history with several historical facts and interesting events that have shaped the community's development. Here are some historical facts about Estero:

  • Koreshan Unity Settlement: One of the most significant historical aspects of Estero is the establishment of the Koreshan Unity settlement in 1894. Led by Cyrus Teed, the religious community followed his belief in "Koreshanity." They built a utopian community based on communal living and unique architectural designs. The Koreshans were involved in various activities, including agriculture, education, and scientific pursuits.
  • Cyrus Teed's Vision: Cyrus Teed, also known as "Dr. Cyrus Reed Teed" or "Koresh," claimed to have received a divine revelation that the Earth was hollow and that humanity lived on the inner surface of a hollow sphere. This concept was called "Cellular Cosmogony" and formed the basis of the Koreshan belief system.
