The City of Summerland Key is located on a small island in the Florida Keys, 20 miles east of Key West. It is an unincorporated community in Monroe County. It is crossed by U.S. 1 between Ramrod Key and Cudjoe Key, and its name comes from the fact that it is the first place where U.S. Coast Survey mapped the island. In 1878, the island was named Summerland, and appears on U.S. Coast Survey chart #169. Today, the city is a bedroom community between Key West and Marathon.
