Cortez, a small commercial fishing village on the Gulf in Manatee County, was founded by settlers from North Carolina in the 1880s. The area was part of the Safety Harbor culture region from about A.D. 900 into the 1700s, when its people formed chiefdoms along Tampa Bay and the nearby Gulf coast and left distinctive pottery in burial mounds.
As the Safety Harbor culture faded in the 1600s, the Calusa, often called the "Shell Indians," first recorded by the Spanish in 1513, became the dominant power in the region. They lived in stilt houses along the waterways and lived by fishing rather than hunting, making nets of palm webbing to catch mullet and other fish, spears tipped with fish teeth and spines, and tools, utensils and jewelry from shells. Weakened by disease and warfare, the last Calusa are believed to have left for Cuba in 1763. The village's history is kept in buildings such as the 1890 Bratton store and the 1912 Cortez Rural Graded Schoolhouse.
