Miles City is an unincorporated community in Collier County, Florida, United States,[1] located near the intersection of the Alligator Alley portion of Interstate 75 and State Road 29. The community is part of the Naples - Marco Island Metropolitan Statistical Area. The name came from Miles Collier (1914-1954), son of area land owner Barron Collier.[2]
Miles City opened in the 1920s and was home to dozens of families who worked at the Roskey Packing Plant. It was also a former stop on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (Harrisburg-Everglades City branch).
