History
Prior to the building of the
Overseas Railroad, there were two separate islands there, known as the
Umbrella Keys. Railway construction involved filling between these two keys which then became known as
Windley Key, after a settler. This is the site of several extensive quarries which for many years supplied building stone, known locally as keystone. The railway station on
Windley Key was known as Quarry.
