Facts & History
 
Located ocean-side of US 1, the quaint community of Duck Key exists on an island of the same name. Converted from salt ponds and mangrove-covered islands and converted to a 400-acre community in the 1950s, the now upscale and well-planned Duck Key is a much desired location. Its developer, Bryan W. Newkirk outsmarted other Keys developers and dug all the canals as through waterways so the tidal changes would flush effortlessly. The key is traversed by nearly 10 miles of roads and adorned by four decorative stone bridges designed by well-known Key West artist Gene Otto.
