About Ozello Keys Florida Real Estate
The history of the Ozello Keys is also remarkable. Tales of treasure buried by 17th century pirates who plied these waters abound. There are ruins where large salt kettles were in production during the Civil War. Perhaps most notable, is what became known as “ The Isle of Knowledge.” A little 24’ x 30’ schoolhouse built in 1880 on an island in the middle of the St Martins River. Local lore has it that families on the north side of the river would not agree to have the school located on the south side of the river. The families on the south side would not agree to have the school located on the north side. Finally, a compromise was reached and the island school, accessible only by water, educated Ozello’s children from first to eighth grade until 1943.
A Fisherman’s Paradise
According to national sporting publications, Ozello Keys ranks as one of the top 12 best fishing spots in North America.
