Sanibel, an island city in Lee County, formed with Captiva as one island about 6,000 years ago. The Calusa arrived about 2,500 years ago and came to dominate most of Southwest Florida through trade along an elaborate system of canals and waterways, and Sanibel remained an important Calusa settlement until their empire collapsed soon after Europeans arrived. In the 1700s Cuban fishermen set up seasonal camps called ranchos on the island.
The island's name is uncertain. A 1765 map shows a harbor called Puerto de S. Nibel, suggesting "San Nibel," while many believe it comes from "Santa Ybel," surviving in Point Ybel, site of the Sanibel Island Light. One story says Juan Ponce de León named it for Queen Isabella, and another credits a first mate of the pirate José Gaspar, but like most Gasparilla lore that tale is apocryphal, since the name appears earlier than the buccaneer's supposed career. Legends also tie the island to Gaspar's ally-turned-rival Black Caesar, said to be a formerly enslaved Haitian who became a pirate. Sources Wikipedia: Sanibel, Florida
