Carnestown, Florida

Carnestown is an uninhabited unincorporated area in Collier County, Florida, United States,[1] located at the intersection of United States Route 41 and State Road 29.

The area is named for Juliet Gordon Carnes (1884-1971), whom Barron Collier, the county's namesake, married in 1907.
