Discover Summerland Key
Summerland Key, about 20 miles east of Key West, was an uninhabited tropical wilderness until Henry Hudgins, the father of modern Summerland Key, began developing it in 1948.
More about Summerland Key
Hudgins, chief structural engineer for the City of Miami, knew Waren Niles, whose family had owned much of the island since the 1900s. In 1941 the Nileses told him they were thinking of selling, and by 1947 he had bought their property for $100,000. In the fall of 1948 two hurricanes flooded the lower Keys with six-foot surges. Seeing the high-water mark, Hudgins decided homes in his development must be raised; he set two surplus military buildings atop utility poles at the foot of today's Dobie Street, his family's first home there and one of the first, if not the first, homes on stilts in the Keys. Elevated construction is now required by code. He then laid out streets and dredged canals for the development. Sources Wikipedia: Summerland Key, Florida
