SCeocececooeseccecose The following is a copy of the paper on Key West’s history con- tributed by Walter Norman, win- ner of second prize, in the contest among high school pupils which closed here recently: +g Key West Key West, “The Fisherman’s Paradise,” as it is known today was not yet inhabited at the time: Napoleon I was making his con- quest over most of Europe. In 1815, the year when Napo- leon’s rule was over, the Spanish governor of Florida, Don Juan de Estrada, granted to Juan Pablo Salas the island of. Cayo Hueso for faithful service in the Royal Artillery Corps. Salas, after receiving the grant did nothing in the way of settling or inhabiting the island, so in 1821 he offered to sell the entire grant to John W. Simonton, who was a native of New Jersey but his bus- iness connections were with cities in the south and Cuba so he later, settled in Mobile. Foreseeing the prospects of the island and the! good harbor, he decided in Jan- nary 1822, A. D. to buy the is-* land and on the 19th he paid $2,000 for it. Later he sectioned the island off and sold parts to Johh Moun- ‘tain, John Whitehead, and John Flemirg. Mountain soon trans-, ferred his share to Pardon Greene, , who became a permanent resident. There is no definite record as. to where Key West acquired its name. While there are two ex-' planations as to where it was ob-, tained. The oldest settler in this, part of the country was at Chat-| lotte Harbor about 1775; it was gotten from him that there were tribes of Indians living on the; Florida Keys; on Key West there: lived a different tribe from that on the mainland and when the is- landers ran out of food supplies hunt. ; they would go to the mainland and fights between the tribes. After the islanders had made one suc- cessful trip to the mainland, the other tribes on the mainland band- whole tribe on the island leaving: dead and dying strewn all over the sands of our island. Hueso, or Bone Key and thus to the corruption “Key. West.” The! other explanaton of the originat- ing of the name is that it is the most westerly key of: the Florida Keys thus obtaining the name “Key. West.” The former ex- planation is the one mostly ac- cepted by the population of the Early Survey: As early ds 1829 the island was surveyed and maped by William A. Whitehead who came to the is- land in October, 1828 while he He established a business in Key West but in 1838 he went to New York and started in business. The actual settlement of Key West started in 1816 when several families from South Carolina and other states bought lots and began to build on the part of the island laid out for the city. In 1822 after the Unit- ed States flag was raised over the island, Lieutenant M. C. Perry, commander of the U. S. Schooner “Shark” named it “Thompson's Island” and named the ‘harbor Port Rodgers; these names didn’t last long for the people seemed to]. like “Cayo Hueso” West” better. No street extended southeast- ernly further than Caroline street, so in 1831 the city council gave the right to the inhabitants along Eaton street to cut down the trees between Simonton and Du- val streets. Eaton street was nothing but a grove of small! trees and underbrush past Simonton street, but in 1837 Elizabeth street and Fleming street were cut away as far up as their intersection. The first thru’ street to the South beach was Whitehead street. Du- val street extended only half way between Eaton and Fleming streets and there was only one house on Duval street after crossing Caro- line street going south; that be- longs to a Captain F. B. Watling- ton who has family that are still living in the old weather beaten structure. Most of the clearing was done by United States sailors that were sent ashore from the U_ S. Sloop “Concord” for the pur- and “Key | | pose. During the Civil War in 1861 | Key West was under the Union and it was during this time that) Fort Taylor was constructed fori the purpose of protecting the city! from sea battles. Many brave men were taken prisoners and died shot or escaped. | Key West was a very important j ican War because it was sp close! jto Cuba. West and for this reason Ke: West is sometimes called iv the West’s History “Home of Cuban Freedom.” In the time of the sinking of the U. S. S. Maine, which;is still one of: those unsolved mysteries, probably the first man in the United States to know: of the event was Thomas K. Warren,, descendant of an old Key West family, who was at the time working in the telegraph office and at this particular time was on duty when the first re- port came into the United States. Establish Base ij A naval base was established in! Key West in Feb. 1822, under the! commanding officers, Captain L.} T. Patterson and Lieutenant Tut-| tle. The house of representa-| tives appropriated the money for j a naval base and work was begun. Key West had attracted attention for some time owing to the won-. derful geographical position. As the years passed rapidly by, the base grew to a fairly large size and more men were sent here owing to the complete connection with Cuba. Key West rapidly increased in size from 1815 to 1912 when the railroad came into the city. Key West 3 the only. city. known to decrease in population after a rail-~ road came into. it, Henry Flagler had had_ hopes and. dreams of building a.railroad over the Straits of Florida to the southernmost island, ever since he entered the railroad business in Florida, - #He‘ wanted to see the railroad connect Key West with the mainland, so in 1905 work was started on the “eighth wonder of the world” and in 1912 a $20,- 000,000 railroad was completed into Key West. After that the World War broke; out and Key West was used as a training camp for the Army, Navy, and the Air Corps. Then later in 1924 and 1925 the Florida “boom” started and { Of course there would be! lasted until the last part of 1927.) w Key West was built and subdivid- ed in every part and property of- ten went from and to as many as four and five hands a day. unemployed.
