Indian Key is located about three-fourths of a mile
in a southeasterly direction from the north shore
of Lower Matecumbe Key. Only slightly more than
10 acres in size and separated from the Overseas
Highway by open water, it hardly looks like a place
of historic significance. Yet Indian Key has had
a colorful past which is very much a part of early
Florida history. It dates from the time of prehistoric
Indians to the 1830s, when this small key was the
seat of newly created Dade County. The foundations
of buildings and cisterns on the island date back
to this prosperous time.
