The presence of people, possibly Paleo-Indian, along the west coast of Florida dates back to around 8,000 B.C. and there is evidence that native Americans lived along the waterfront of Sarasota and southwest Florida more than 3,000 years ago. In the 1500's, the first Spanish explorers, Ponce de Leon, Panfilo Narvaez, and Hernando De Soto landed on the Gulf Coast in search of gold and silver. In 1821, the United States acquired the territory of Florida and in 1824, the Armed Occupation Act allowed for private ownership of land along Sarasota Bay, but only for incoming settlers. The native Seminoles were not allowed to become citizens or own land and were pushed even further south. In 1855, the settlers won their war with the Seminoles but it wasn't until the 1880's that development really began.
In 1885, Sarasota Florida was promoted in Scotland. Many families sailed to America expecting fields of vegetables, housing, and citrus groves. They found only a stump-filled Main Street and most of the colonists left. John Hamilton Gillespie, a Scottish aristocrat, lawyer and member of the Royal Company of Archers, Queen's Bodyguard for Scotland, built what is believed to be America's first golf course in Sarasota. Gillespie also built the DeSoto Hotel on Main Street for tourists and prospective investors. In 1902, he was elected as Sarasota's first mayor.
Scottish influence remains evident through the annual Sarasota Highland Games and Festival and the Riverview High Kiltie band, which wears authentic kilts and features bagpipers and Highland dancers. The Crowley Museum and Nature Center in eastern Sarasota vividly demonstrates what life was like for Sarasota's first settlers in the late 19th century.
Sarasota Florida began attracting wealthy Americans in the 1910's as it does today. Bertha Palmer, widow of Chicago developer Potter Palmer, came to Sarasota and built extensive gardens on her waterfront winter estate, Osprey Point, which is today's Historic Spanish Point. Palmer also purchased a 30,000-acre ranch in eastern Sarasota which is now Myakka River State Park.
John Ringling, of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus fame, made a mark on the community of Sarasota in various ways. In the 1920s, he and his wife, Mable, built a magnificent Venetian-style estate on Sarasota Bay named Cà d' Zan. Then they built an art museum for their collection of works by Peter Paul Rubens and other 17th-century Italian and Flemish art. In addition, John used his circus elephants to help build the first bridge from the mainland to St. Armands Key, which he developed as a commercial and residential center.
The circus' winter quarters were moved to Sarasota Florida in 1927, thus creating a new identity for Sarasota Florida as a circus town. Now Sarasota is known as the Circus Capitol of the World and is home to many circuses. In 1949, the gymnastics program at Sarasota High School was expanded to include circus acts and the Sarasota Sailor Circus was born. Sarasota County is the only public school system in the United States that sponsors an after school youth circus program known as the Sailor Circus and is also home to Ringling's Clown College
Sarasota became a mecca for modern architecture between 1941 and 1966 when a group of architects came together to debate the philosophies of abstract expressionism in a creative community with a cultural tradition ready to accept tenets of modernist design. The result was a remarkable body of work known as the Sarasota School of Architecture and their work is still enjoyed here today.

Plymouth Harbor Salutes Sarasota Firefighters
Sarasota Firefighters climb 344 flights of stairs in remembrance of the 343 firefighters who lost their lives in 9/11 and a fellow firefighter in Sarasota lost exactly a year earlier. Residents and staff of Plymouth Harbor on Sarasota Bay pay tribute to our local firefighters on 9/11/09. The retirement community's Tower building is regularly used by the local firefighters as a way of training and building physical endurance, especially as the new Sarasota Fire Chief focuses on overall fitness for his department.
