At the beginning of the last century, Bird Key in Sarasota was a small island in Sarasota Bay, rising only a few feet about the surrounding shallow grass flats. In 1911, Thomas Martin Worcester of Cincinnati began to build on the key by dredging a channel through the grass flats to his dock and using the dredged material as fill to raise the level of the land. Worcester built the first expensive home on any island in the Sarasota Bay region. It was named New Edzell Castle after the ancestral home, Edzell Castle of his wife, Davie Lindsay Worcester, of Scotland.
in the early 1920s, John Ringling purchased Bird Key, Otter Key, Wolf Key and several other unnamed mangrove islands. In 1959 Arvida Realty, Inc. purchased the Ringling Interests' holdings on the key. Arivida planned to fill in Bird Key to allow for 511 lots, 291 water-fronts and 220 off-water sites.
Today Bird Key has 694 households with a population of approx 1750. It boasts Bird Key Yacht club which is located on the original site of the Edzell Castle. A short walk over the John Ringling bridge takes you to downtown Sarasota which has the distinction of many restaurants,shops and art venues to make it a prime visitors destination!
