From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Craig Key is an island in the middle Florida Keys.
U.S. Route 1 (or the Overseas Highway) crosses the key at approximately mile marker 72, between Lower Matecumbe Key and Fiesta Key.
The island was formerly known as Poor Craig's Key for Mr. R.W. Craig who was the owner of the island.
President Herbert Hoover moored his yacht there when he visited the keys.
A post office was established there in the late 1920s. It operated until destroyed by Hurricane Donna in 1960.
