Ave Maria, Florida, United States, is a planned community and census-designated place located in Collier County, Florida,[6] consisting of approximately 5,000 acres (2,023 ha).[7] The population was 6,242 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Naples-Marco Island, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The community was founded in 2005 by Ave Maria Development, a partnership of Barron Collier Companies and the Ave Maria Foundation led by Catholic philanthropist Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza and Ave Maria University, which is located in the heart of town. Along with shops and restaurants, the town square also features the iconic Ave Maria parish church with its steel arches and its 30-foot-tall marble carving of the Annunciation. While the influence of Catholic culture is noticeable in the town, people of all beliefs enjoy Ave Maria's family-friendly, traditional, small-town feel.
