Clewiston, "America's Sweetest Town," was developed in the 1920's, incorporated in 1925, and occupies 4.57 square miles in Hendry County.  Today, it is a friendly little town of approximately 6,500 people - way out in the middle of everywhere - 60 miles east of Fort Myers on the Gulf of Mexico and 60 miles west of Palm Beach on the Atlantic Ocean.  Through more than a half-century of growth, our town has kept its charm and beauty.
