'Cape Romano' is a
cape at the southern end of
Caxambas Island, just south of
Marco Island and northwest of the
Ten Thousand Islands in
Collier County, Florida.
Calusa Indians founded the settlement and called it Manataca.
Juan Ponce de León briefly stopped at Manataca on his first trip from
Puerto Rico to
Florida, but the Indians tried to fight him off.
Cape Romano was also the spot where
Hurricane Wilma made its first U.S. landfall in
October 2005.
