Collier Resources
In the early 20th Century, advertising magnate Barron Gift Collier came to Southwest Florida and inspired by the promise of this land, he bought more than a million acres and was instrumental in creating Collier County.
Today, nearly 100 years later, two-family companies – The Barron Collier Companies and Collier Enterprises – continue to realize his vision through a commitment to integrity, strong business values, and deep respect for the land.
Both companies engage in businesses that include agricultural operations, land management, real estate development, oil and gas production, as well as the conveyance of land for preservation.
Together, the two companies manage the family’s mineral holdings through Collier Resources Company (CRC) and are part of the more than seven-decade history of successful oil exploration and development in Southwest Florida.
