Key West is the southern-most city in the continental United States, located 150 miles south of Miami and 90 miles east of Cuba. Its history can be traced back to Spanish sailors who upon discovering the island also discovered the skeletal remains of native Indians. Causing them to name the island `Cayo Hueso', meaning "Island of Bones". The island once served as a waypoint for travelers between United States and Cuba, but that ended once Fidel Castro took power. Today, Key West is a laid-back community where relaxation is not only a way of life, but the only way of life. The locals or `Conchs' (pronounced conks) as they are commonly known, are a collective melting pot of Cubans, Drifters, Bahamians, Out-of-work Smugglers, Haitians, Exiles and Recent Refugees. Key West also has a large gay community, making the city as diverse as it gets. This liberal and laissez-faire attitude that permeates Key West makes the city one of the most enjoyable tourist destinations in the country. Conchs thrive on eccentricity as much as diversity. This city has been a sanctuary for artists, authors, poets, ornithologists, presidents and pirates, all who somehow managed to find their own little piece of paradise along this four mile wide stretch of land. The cultural side of Key West was influenced by the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, John James Audubon, James Curry and Henry Flagler. Over the years, a large number of artists and writers have used the island for inspiration, enriching others through their artistry. The more ostentatious side of Key West resides along Duval Street. This tourist Mecca resembles a smaller version of Mardi Gras on a nightly basis. Sunsets and drag shows are just the warm up acts to Key West's lively nightlife. Many folks claim that once you've visited Key West, you'll want to become a permanent resident. The only way to know for sure is to experience the island's allure for yourself and find out why year after year former travelers are returning to this little slice of paradise and calling it home.
