| History: | This feature was once the most westerly of three islands that were known collectively as Spanish Harbor Keys. As a result of landfill efforts, this island and the two others have become one landmass. In June 2010 the BGN approved a proposal to render this feature and name historical and to apply the new name Scout Key to the entire landmass. |
