In the late 19th century, Long Key was used as a coconut plantation. By 1910, Layton was becoming famous as a fishing destination, thanks in part to promotion by sportswriter, Zane Grey. However, the developing tourist infrastructure on Long Key, including a station on the Overseas Railroad, was largely destroyed by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935.
After World War II, Mary V. Layton (1907-1993) and Delbert “Del” Layton (1906-1987), who ran a grocery business in Miami, bought 40 acres (160,000 m2) on Long Key and started developing the property as "Layton's Long Key Fishing Camp", which grew substantially over the succeeding years.
