Cortez Village Historical Society, Inc

The Cortez Cultural Center, operated by the Cortez Village Historical Society, Inc., highlights the rich history of Cortez, Florida, one of the last remaining fishing villages on the Gulf Coast. Established in the 1880s, the center preserves the stories of founding families and the village's fishing heritage, which dates back to Native American and Spanish exploration.

With ninety-seven buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Cultural Center offers visitors a glimpse into the past, showcasing wartime experiences and the evolution of the community through exhibits. The timeline of Cortez's history is currently documented up to the 1980s, with plans to extend it to the present day.
