Good to know about Key West

Key West's early American settlement developed from a private island purchase. John W. Simonton bought the island from Spanish grant holder Juan Pablo Salas for $2,000. Simonton and his associates then sent settlers and supplies, taking possession in January 1822. The settlement thus began as a commercial property venture before becoming an incorporated city.

Harry S. Truman spent 175 days of his presidency at Key West's Little White House during eleven working vacations. His first stay followed a lingering illness and a recommendation that he rest at the naval station. The retreat became a functioning presidential workplace, with staff, official correspondence and government business accompanying him.

Robert the Doll, formerly owned by Key West artist Robert Eugene Otto, is displayed at Fort East Martello Museum. Local supernatural lore attributes misfortune to photographing the doll without permission. Visitors have sent apology letters describing subsequent troubles. The letters and associated beliefs are documented; the alleged curse is folklore rather than an established phenomenon.

Fantasy Fest began in 1979 as a deliberate response to Key West's quiet October tourist season. Local business owners organized a costumed parade to bring visitors back before winter. The event developed into a multi-day festival of masquerades, parties and street celebrations, turning an economic promotion into a recurring civic tradition.
