History
Estero was established and incorporated by the followers of Dr. Cyrus Reed Teed, who proposed a theory of that we live on the inside of the Earth's outer skin, and that celestial bodies are all contained inside the hollow Earth. Cyrus Reed Teed ( October 18, 1839 - December 22, 1908) was an eclectic physician who was the creator of a unique Hollow This theory, which he called Koreshan Unity, drew followers to purchase and occupy a 320-acre (1.

They were business-oriented and lived communally, prospering enough to found its own political party ("The Progressive Liberty Party") and incorporate the town in 1904 as Estero. The 1908 death of Dr. Teed (who claimed to be immortal) was a critical blow to the group's faith, whose membership dwindled into the 1960s. The Foundation remains as "The College of Life Foundation," which contributed (for example) at least $25,000 to the Gulf Shore Playhouse in or around 2007[5]. The Koreshans' original tract is now owned by Florida as the Koreshan State Park.
