Hendry County is Florida's 63^rd county, established on May 11, 1923, from a segment of Lee County. It gains its name from Francis Asbury Hendry, who was a captain of Confederate calvary troops during the Civil War. He was later known as the "Cattle King of South Florida" because of his large herds of cattle. La Belle, named after Hendry's two daughters, Laura and Belle, is the county seat.
