Well, that would be second-largest by total area, 120 square miles In 2009, the population was 162,852.
It was founded in 1957 just across the unspellable river from Fort Myers on Florida's west coast by real estate developers Leonard and Jack Rosen. A heavy emphasis was placed on navigable waterways of which there are over 400 miles, giving the city more miles of canals than any on earth.
The city was incorporated in 1970 and experience a huge construction boom from the 1990s until the economic crash in 2008 which has resulted in a lot of foreclosed homes and great deals if you can get the banks to move on them.
