Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox islands Fiesta Key is the northeasternmost island in the middle Florida Keys, connected via causeway to U.S. 1 (or the Overseas Highway) at mile marker 70, between Long Key and Craig Key.[1]

History

Fiesta Key's earliest name on record was Jew-fish Kay. In an 1873 survey, Charles Smith, who came to the Keys to conduct government surveys of the islands, identified it as Jewfish Key.[2]

Louie Turner homesteaded the island on January 7, 1908, becoming the first recorded owner.

For a period in the 1950s and 1960s, the island was a property of The Greyhound Corporation. During that period it was named Tropical Key, then Greyhound Key.[3]

Tourism and Camping

Kampgrounds of America (KOA) bought the island from Greyhound in 1966 and renamed it as Fiesta Key. KOA no longer owns the island.
