Key West Has The Key To My Heart
Key West is, as the name suggests, the westernmost island of the chain of islands stretching back from Florida's southern point backwards into the Gulf of Mexico. Formerly known as Cayo Hueso, or Island of Bones, the island was first officially claimed for the U.S. by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1821. For a lot of years, it was a maritime base of operations against pirates of the Caribbean. Civilian settlement followed, and by the late 19th century, Key West was the most affluent district in Florida. For many years, the only way to access Key West was by boat or train (a railroad was in place by 1912), but since the extension of U.S. Highway 1 in 1938, the area has been readily accessible by automobile.
Key West is saturated in history, particularly when it comes to American literature. Author Steven King makes his home in the Keys for part of the year, but he is only the most current in a host of American literary figures who have been residents in this community, which most notably include late playwright Tennessee Williams and novelist Ernest Hemingway. The house once owned by Hemingway has been declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark and it is here that he later said he did some of his best writing. At the La Concha Hotel, Tennessee Williams penned the first draft of A Streetcar Named Desire, and he made his home in Key West for the last 34 years of his life. Today, a theater on the campus of neighboring Florida Keys Community College bears his name.
There are great Florida Keys vacation rentals throughout the chain of islands to rent for short or long term. If you haven't ever been to the Islamorada Florida Keys, this stretch of the Keys is a great setting. Islamorada is comprised of six islands including Plantation Key, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Lower Matecumbe Key and the offshore islands of Indian Key and Lignumvitae Key. This might be the only spot on Earth where it is possible to catch a sailfish in the morning, and then float into the backcountry in pursuit of bonefish, permit, tarpon, snook and redfish in just inches of water. There are also abundant Islamorada vacation rentals available that are charming and tranquil.
Old Town Key West offers a broad range of interests that include water sports such as deep sea fishing, diving and snorkeling as well as a great number of cultural events throughout the year. In fact, inside an area four miles long and two miles wide, there are no fewer than 89 art galleries exhibiting a wealth of paintings and sculptures by local residents and include works by Cuban and Haitian artists in exile.
In addition, the Florida Keys are home to the regions only nonprofit self-governing film multiplex, where film buffs can attend screenings of foreign and independent films that are shown in very little other venues. The Tropic Cinema is merely one of the must see sights in Key West. In addition to film, live theater is flourishing at venues such as the Marathon Community Theater, which presents musicals and other plays that recently included Guys and Dolls, Deathtrap and a full Broadway review.
Nature lovers will find out a great deal about the local flora and fauna at the Audubon House and Tropical Gardens, which features a fine art gallery of its own. You can also experience some of the early history and archeology of the area by visiting the Crane Point Museum Nature Center and Historic Site, which is situated on one of the oldest existing home sites on the island.
Key West is an isle off the coast of Florida with a vivid history and unique current day atmosphere. There are numerous Florida Keys vacation rentals obtainable on this magical isle.
