Why this spot
1892-1940s fishing and charcoal village
Settled around 1892, the village sold fish, vegetables and charcoal to Key West and had about 50 families and a school by 1900; game warden Guy Bradley was killed here by plume hunters. Residents were relocated soon after Everglades National Park was created.View source →
