Pigeon Key From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pigeon Key is a small island in the middle Florida Keys . It is named "Cayo Paloma" on many old Spanish charts. It is located off the old Seven Mile Bridge , at approximately mile marker 45, west of Knight's Key , (city of Marathon ) and just east of Moser Channel , which is the deepest section of the 7 mile span and arguably divides the lower and middle Keys.

Said to be named for large flocks of White-crowned pigeons ( Columba leucocephala Linnaeus) which once roosted there. During the building of Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad Key West Extension, a major construction depot was located there, the jumping off point for construction of the Seven Mile Bridge . A number of buildings from the Flagler era remain on the island. They are now part of the Pigeon Key Historic District . "
