Spanish explorers first set foot on this area in the early 1500's. Key Largo is the first island in the long line moving away from the Florida mainland. The Spaniards named it "Cayo Largo" (Long Key) because it was such a large island. Over the years it has been a haven for pirates and smugglers and many shipwrecks occurred near its shores.
