During our Centennial Celebration, it was an honor to sit down with one of our local historians. Upon arriving in Collier County, Ms. Lila Zuck found no comprehensive history of our community. She spent more than a decade researching and interviewing local officials to author “Naples, A Second Paradise” a 1,007 page history of Collier County since its inception in 1923. Additionally, she authored “Naples’ Oldest Tradition: Swamp Buggy Days.”
