More about Key Largo
Early in the building of Henry Flagler's railroad, Jewfish Creek was identified as a critical point. Beginning in 1905 a supply line carried materials from Biscayne Bay, and excavators worked from Homestead and from Key Largo toward each other; the tracks from Homestead reached Jewfish Creek by December 9, 1906. A steel swing-span bridge built at the Miami docks was in operation by early February 1907, with an agent's house, telegraph station and workers' houses nearby. It was replaced by a bascule bridge in 1944 and by the present bridge in 2008.
Key Largo is also home to the African Queen, a steamboat built in 1912 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, restored in 2012.
