Treasure Island

Treasure Island was inhabited by small communities of Tocobaga from around 300 CE to the arrival of Pánfilo de Narváez in 1528. Treasure Island got its name through brilliant real estate marketing. Around 1915, several property owners got together and pretended to find treasure buried on the beach. After "finding" two treasure chests, they loaded them on the back of a truck, and rode through the streets celebrating their new riches. Word of their discovery spread, and the island became Treasure Island.
