- Manuel_A._Gonzalez abstract "Manuel A. González (born 1832 - ) was a Spanish steamship captain who was one of the first permanent settlers of Fort Myers, Florida. Gonzalez left his home in Asturias Province, Spain and traveled to America where he became a naturalized U.S. Citizen on May 1859, in Key West, Florida. On February 21, 1866 Manuel A. Gonzalez and his 5 year old son Manuel S. Gonzalez became the first permanent settlers of Fort Myers, Florida after arriving by boat from Key West, Florida at the remains of the abandoned federal garrison. Manuel and his son made repairs on what would become the Gonzalez family home located at what is now the corner of First and Jackson streets. Three weeks later, Joseph Vivas and his wife Christianna Stirrup Vivas arrived at the Fort with Manuel A. Gonzalez's wife, Evalina Weatherford Gonzalez and daughter Mary Gonzalez.Eventually Gonzalez owned a wide swath of riverfont in Fort Myers, including the property Thomas Edison and Henry Ford later purchased to construct the famous Edison and Ford Winter Estates. As the Fort Myers News-Press later reported: "In 1872, he moved out of town to a creek that now bears his name, Manuel's Branch. In the 1890s, he built a home on Monroe Street on a site that became the Atlantic Coast Line depot.His son, Manuel S. Gonzalez, wrote in the mid-20th century about the early days:"In the spring of 1866, a quartet of people landed here, in what was at that time an abandoned wilderness. ... My father, Manuel A. Gonzalez; John A. Weatherford, an uncle of mine; Joseph A. Vivas, a friend of our family; and myself, M.S. Gonzalez (then but 5 years of age) constituted the quartet. ... We arrived here in a sailing vessel. ... The boat returned to Key West ... leaving my father and myself here all alone until the boat should return, which was about three weeks."".
