| About Sarasota (from Wikipedia) |
|
Sarasota is a city located on the central west coast of Florida, USA. Its official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. These islands (known as keys) include Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key and are famous worldwide for the quality of their beaches. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Sarasota had a population of 54,349 in 2004. European settlers arrived in significant numbers in the late 1840s. The area already had a name—'Zara Zote'—on maps dating back to the early 1700s. The initial settlers were attracted by the climate and Sarasota Bay, the region's greatest natural asset. Early developers promoted it as such. One of the earliest pioneer locations preserved in the Sarasota Bay area, is Historic Spanish Point, where Bertha Palmer made her winter residence on land originally homesteaded by the Webb family. She retained most of their structures and greatly expanded the settlement. The pioneer site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Historic Spanish Point and is open to the public for a fee. Tours of the 30-acre site explore the natural history and human occupation through archaeology, historic preservation, and reenactment of some typical pioneer activities of a homestead family along Sarasota Bay. |
