The first resident of the key was a Frenchman named Charles St. Amand, who purchased over 131 acres of the land for $21.71. Because Mr. Amand’s name was misspelled on the deeds to the land, the key’s name remains St Armands today. The region remained mostly undeveloped, until 1917 when John Ringling, the notorious circus magnate, purchased the land with plans to create both residential and commercial space in the form of a circle on the key. In the first few years after the development opened to the public, it was a great success. However, the Great Depression had a lasting effect on St Armands real estate sales, and, before long, St Armands Circle began to deteriorate.
