Hendry County, located in the southwestern part of Florida, was established on May 11, 1923. The county was named in honor of Captain Francis A. Hendry, a Florida cattle rancher, politician, and military officer who served during the Seminole Wars. The region was initially inhabited by the Calusa Tribe but was later taken over by European explorers like the Spanish, who arrived in the 16th century.
Hendry County's total area is approximately 1,190 square miles, and it is bordered by Glades County to the north, Palm Beach County to the east, Broward County to the southeast, and Collier County to the south. The county seat of Hendry County is LaBelle, while Clewiston, a larger city, is known as "America's Sweetest Town," owing to its sugar production.
