History
The name "Islamorada" (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈisla moˈɾaða]), spelled isla morada in Spanish, "Island Home", came from townsite founder William J. Krome.
Islamorada was the location of one of the stations of the Overseas Railroad.
Islamorada was hit almost directly by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, causing 423 deaths. A memorial, including the ashes of over 300 victims, exists today at Overseas Highway, mile marker 82.
Baseball player Ted Williams began visiting Islamorada in 1943, and for the next 45 years, he was the island's most well-known resident. After his retirement from baseball, he became the national spokesman for Sears sporting goods and became renowned for his abilities as a fisherman. Over the decades, he hosted numerous celebrities at his Islamorada house and took them on local fishing trips.
The village was incorporated on December 31, 1997. Before this date, Islamorada referred to the evolving community island of Upper Matecumbe Key.
