Discover Marathon

Marathon, in the middle Florida Keys, takes its name from the building of the Florida East Coast Railway's Overseas Railroad. One story says workers laboring night and day complained that the job was "getting to be a real marathon," and the word was given to the local station.

More about Marathon

Keys historian Dan Gallager instead credits New York playwright Witter Bynner, whom railroad president J. R. Parrott invited to help name stations. Asked for a name for the station at Key Vaca, Bynner proposed Marathon, inspired by Byron's line about the mountains looking on Marathon and Marathon looking on the sea. Though the area was settled long before, Marathon was not incorporated until 1999. On September 10, 2017, Hurricane Irma made landfall in the Keys and caused significant damage in Marathon, one of the first places in the Keys to receive relief supplies afterward.
