==History==
[[Image:Layton Florida sign.jpg|thumb|left|A sign indicating the border of the city of Layton]]
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]].<ref name=LaytonHistory/>

After [[World War II]], Mary V. Layton (1907-1993) and Delbert “Del” Layton (1906-1987), who ran a grocery business in [[Miami]], bought {{convert|40|acre|m2}} on Long Key and started developing the property as "Layton's Long Key Fishing Camp", which grew substantially over the succeeding years.<ref name=LaytonHistory/>

The '''''City of Layton''''' was officially incorporated on September 18, 1963.<ref name=LaytonHistory/><ref name=LaytonInc>{{Cite web|title=FLORIDA CITIES BY INCORPORATION YEAR WITH INCORPORATION & DISSOLUTION INFO|url=https://www.flcities.com/docs/default-source/www.flcities.com-institute-reports/2020citiesbyincorporationwithinfo.pdf?sfvrsn=5009d6d5_0|website=[[United States Census Bureau]]}}</ref> The land that would become [[Long Key State Park]] was acquired between 1961 and 1973; the park opened on October 1, 1969.<ref name=LaytonHistory/>
