No Name Key is located in the Lower Keys.
No Name Key was the terminus of a car ferry that existed before the present Overseas Highway was built on the remains of Flagler's Overseas Railroad.
In 1962-1963 No Name Key was the headquarters of a group of anti-Castro activists known as Interpen, led by an ex-marine named Gerry Patrick Hemming, Jr., who had worked with the Castro forces in Cuba in 1959-1960.
Key Deer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (944 words)
Key Deer use all islands during the wet season when drinking water is more generally available, retreating to islands with a perennial supply of fresh water in dry months.
It is believed that Key Deer is a subspecies of White-tailed Deer which migrated to the Florida Keys from the mainland over a land bridge during the Wisconsin glaciation (the most recent ice age).
The hunting of Key Deer was banned in 1939, but widespread poaching and habitat destruction caused the subspecies to plummet to near-extinction by the 1950s.
