Boca Grande, on Gasparilla Island, lies in country first inhabited by the Calusa, who lived on nearby Useppa Island by 5000 B.C. and on Gasparilla Island by about A.D. 800 or 900. Charlotte Harbor was the center of the Calusa world, with thousands of people in hundreds of fishing villages, but by the mid-18th century they had all but disappeared from disease, slavery and war.
The next settlers also came to fish. By the late 1870s several fish ranches operated around Charlotte Harbor, including one at the village of Gasparilla on the north end of the island, where Spanish and Cuban fishermen salted mullet for shipment to Havana. The fishery moved to Placida in the 1940s, and the village died out, though many fishing families' descendants remain. In 1885 phosphate rock was found on the Peace River above Punta Gorda, and that discovery turned the south end of Gasparilla Island, beside Boca Grande Pass, one of Florida's deepest natural inlets, into a major deep-water port and gave rise to the town of Boca Grande. Wealthy American and British sportsmen soon came for the area's fishing, especially tarpon. The Boca Grande Lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
