Discover Chokoloskee
Chokoloskee, at the edge of the Ten Thousand Islands, was inhabited by the Calusa and their ancestors for more than 1,500 years before Europeans arrived, but by 1763 it was empty. Through much of the 19th century it may have been visited by Seminoles, hunters, Cuban fishermen and people fleeing the law.
More about Chokoloskee
During the Third Seminole War, in November 1856, 110 men of the Florida Mounted Volunteers reached the island. An expedition of 75 men went up the Turner River and burned a Seminole settlement and fields, and after a skirmish in which Captain John Parkhill was killed they returned to find their base moved to Cape Romano for lack of fresh water. Modern settlement began in 1874 with the family of John Weeks, followed by Adolphus Santini, whose family by about 1880 claimed most of the island. In 1882 five families lived there, farming, fishing and catching turtles to sell in Key West. Through the efforts of C. G. McKinney a post office opened in 1891, called Comfort for its first few months, and in 1897 Ted Smallwood moved to the island. Sources Wikipedia: Chokoloskee, Florida
