Fort Denaud - Hendry County, Florida - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

The fort was situated next to the Caloosahatchee River, 27 miles (43 km) east of Fort Myers. Troops established Fort Denaud in 1837, first on the south bank of the Caloosahatchee and in the 1850s on the north side. It is named in honor of Pierre Denaud, a French-Canadian trapper who had owned the land and had traded skins and hides with the Seminole prior to the Seminole War.[3] In 1963, the swing-style Fort Denaud Bridge was built across the Caloosahatchee. The bridge and its current approach stands were put into place at mile 108.2 along Route 78A.[4] On the north side of the river is Fort Denaud Cemetery. On the south side of the Fort Denaud Bridge is a historic marker.[5]
