Vanderbilt Beach History

Vanderbilt Beach is a popular beach located in Collier County, Florida, USA. It is named after the Vanderbilt family, who were prominent in the United States during the 19th and 20th centuries.

The history of Vanderbilt Beach dates back to the 1880s, when the Vanderbilt family began purchasing land in the area. They built a large mansion on the beach, which served as their winter retreat. The mansion was later sold to a developer in the 1940s, and it was eventually demolished in 1960.

In the 1940s, the developer built a hotel on the beach, which was called the Vanderbilt Beach Hotel. It quickly became a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, and it helped to put Vanderbilt Beach on the map.
