Longboat Key PICTURE OF PARADISE The town of Longboat Key turned 57 Nov. 13, 2012. But the island of Longboat Key has a rich history that predates the formation of the town. Longboat Key has been a tourist destination for hundreds — if not thousands — of years. Its earliest tourists were Calusa and Timucan Indians who lived on the mainland east of the island but traveled to the island to enjoy many of the same attractions that visitors treasure
» fast facts Longboat Key is most likely named for the longboats that Spaniards used once they reached landfall. According to local legend, explorer Juan Anasco believed the Indians were hostile when he and his companions reached land. They fled, leaving their longboat in the bayou.

The pirate Jean La Fitte was shipwrecked in 1821 on or near Longboat Key for several months.
■
Longboat Key hasn’t been hit directly by a hurricane since 1947.

today: the beaches and bountiful seafood harvest. Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto led an expedition in 1538 to Florida in search of gold. His scout and treasurer, Juan Anasco, explored the area and is said to be the first white man to set foot on Longboat Key. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that Longboat Key got its first permanent residents. In 1888, Thomas Mann, a Confederate soldier and carpenter by trade, moved his family to a thatched hut he built on the north end of the Key. In 1891, Mann was awarded 144.47 acres, as part of the Homestead Act of 1862, in what is now the Longbeach Village neighborhood. Communities developed in the early 1900s at the north end of the island and mid-Key, where an agricultural community of approximately 18 families flourished. The Mistletoe steamship transported visitors between the island and the mainland and also shipped produce from farmer Byron Corey’s dock, known as Corey’s Landing. A hurricane in October 1921 destroyed island farming activity and most existing homes. But a storm couldn’t wipe out island life. Throughout the next 30 years, families continued to move to Longboat Key, and Nov. 13, 1955, residents voted 186-13 to incorporate as a town.
Arvida Corp. changed the course of the island’s history in 1959, when it bought waterfront property on the south end of Longboat and its surrounding keys for $13.5 million. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the company developed plans for condominiums and golf courses that would give the Key its current character today. It began construction for Longboat’s first condominium, Seaplace, in 1973, and followed with many subsequent developments. Today, Longboat Key is home to a year-round population of 7,000 and draws as many as 22,000 at the peak of season, usually considered to be Easter weekend. Just like Longboat Key’s original tourists, residents and visitors alike enjoy the beaches and weather — but today’s islanders also cherish the many recreational and cultural amenities, along with shops and restaurants located both on and off the island. Centuries after Calusa and Timucan Indians became Longboat Key’s earliest tourists, the island remains a tourist destination. Both Longboaters and tourists enjoy the Key’s warm weather, pristine beaches and many local offerings.

LIDO KEY The Paleo and Calusa Indians lived on Lido Key and surrounding lands for 4,000 years, and archaeological evidence suggests they worshiped the sun. The Indians left the barrier island after Spanish explorers came in search of gold in the 1500s. Then, for more than three centuries, the barrier island was largely uninhabited. But John Ringling took an interest in Lido Key in the 1920s. Hoping to inspire Warren G. Harding, who was president at the time, to buy a winter home on nearby Bird Key, Ringling named the streets on Lido Key after American presidents. In 1940, the city of Sarasota opened the Lido Casino with
NE funding from the Works Progress Administration, the largest New Deal agency, to attract tourists and provide jobs. The casino was a popular attraction in the 1940s and 1950s. Tourists often lined up to have their pictures taken with the large seahorse sculptures that were attached to the building. The casino was demolished in 1969, and, today, the Lido Beach Pavilion stands in its place. Lido Key was among the barrier islands Arvida purchased for $13.5 million in
1958. But the public protested in 1967, when Arvida proposed enlarging part of Lido Key, as it had Bird Key. As a compromise, Arvida sold Sarasota County the northern and southern tips to use as county parks. Today, Lido Key, is home to a renowned white-sand beach that was renourished in 2009, along with hotels and motels and a population of about 2,500 full- and part-time residents — who, like the island’s earliest residents, no doubt also worship the sun.
St. Armands Key St. Armands Key is named for Frenchman Charles St. Amand — and, yes, that is a misspelling. St. Amand bought a total 131.89 acres of land on the Key in 1893 for just $21.71, but his name was misspelled in the original deeds. St. Amand and other pioneers fished in the surrounding waters and grew produce. But, in 1917, John Ringling bought St. Armands Key, envisioning it as the jewel of the cosmopolitan city-by-thesea of Sarasota. He envisioned residential and shopping units that would form the shape of a circle. In 1925, Ringling began work on a causeway that would join St. Armands Key to the mainland. He used circus
elephants to haul materials. Real-estate sales topped $1 million in one day in 1926, when sales of the John Ringling Estates launched. But most transactions were made with minimal deposits, which were forfeited or returned after the stock market crash of 1929 and subsequent Great Depression. Ringling donated the causeway to the city of Sarasota, because
8 | Visitors Guide & Community Directory
he was unable to maintain it. For the next 20 years, St. Armands Key sat virtually empty, with vegetation growing over what was once the Circle. But in the 1940s and 1950s, businesses began to return to the Circle. By the 1960s, the Circle had a reputation as a premier shopping destination. Today, St. Armands Circle is home to approximately 130 businesses, including boutiques, shops, restaurants, galleries, salons and more, and approximately 750 residents live on St. Armands Key. St. Armands Circle Park is the site of frequent events, such as car shows, craft festivals, Holiday Night on St. Armands and Fright Night. www.longboatkeychamber.com

The Arts Center was established in 1952, three years before the town was incorporated, and began its partnership

LONGBOAT KEY CLUB & RESORT This AAA four-diamond resort, just minutes away from St. Armands Circle and Sarasota, is a prime place for business — and pleasure. The club’s six restaurants facilitate weekly meetings for a variety of organizations. Forty-five on-site champion golf holes, 20 Har-Tru tennis courts and a full-service
291-slip marine provide ample recreational activities. These amenities, along with a house spa, fitness center, heated pool and white-sand beaches, make the club a premier wedding spot. The club’s commitment to sustainability earned it Florida’s official “Green Lodging” certification.
Credit TDA Global Sports with luring nearly 50 tennis pros and 33,000 fans to Longboat Key each April for the Sarasota Open. Sam Querrey captured last year’s Sarasota Open title. After his win, Querrey said the Sarasota Open was likely the top challenger event he had played in America. James Blake, one of the top 10 players in the world, won the 2011 Sarasota Open; and the year before, Kei Nishikori, one of the top 25 players in the world, won the inaugural tournament. Tony Driscoll, president of the marketing and event-promotions
company, founded the tournament in 2009. It is part of the ATP Challenger Tour. The Sarasota Open, held this year from April 13 to April 21, at the Longboat Key and Resort’s Tennis Gardens, awards $50,000 to the winner. TDA also puts on the Longboat Key Triathlon.
