[[Stiltsville]] was established by Eddie "Crawfish" Walker in the 1930s as a small community of shacks built on pilings in a shallow section of [[Biscayne Bay]], not far from Key Biscayne. Comprising 27 structures at its height in the 1960s, Stiltsville lost shacks to fires and hurricanes, with only six surviving in 2021,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/one-of-seven-remaining-iconic-stiltsville-homes-goes-up-in-flames/|title=One Of Seven Remaining Iconic Stiltsville Homes Goes Up In Flames|date=11 January 2021|publisher=CBS Miami|access-date=7 January 2023}}</ref> none of them dating to the 1960s or earlier. The site was incorporated into Biscayne National Park in 1985, when the Park Service agreed to honor existing leases until July 1, 1999. Hurricane Andrew destroyed most of Stiltsville in 1992. The Park Service has undertaken to preserve the community, which is now unoccupied.<ref name=npsbisc6>{{cite web|title=Stiltsville|url=http://www.nps.gov/bisc/historyculture/stiltsville.htm|work=Biscayne National Park|publisher=National Park Service|access-date=19 November 2012}}</ref> The community is to be administered by a trust and used as accommodation for overnight camping, educational facilities and researchers.<ref name=zagier1>{{cite news|last=Zagier|first=Alan Scher|title=Stilt Homes Standing Tall After Park Service Fight Deal Preserves Fla.
