The area was originally swampland until the Lehigh Corporation dug canals to drain the land for residential development. Home sales began in 1954 and grew rapidly in the following decades as people moved to Lehigh Acres seeking affordable housing and Florida's sunny climate. By 1960, over 5,000 homes had been built in Lehigh Acres.
