==History==
"Manasota Key" refers to an {{convert|11|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} peninsula (transformed into a [[barrier island]] by the [[Gulf Intracoastal Waterway]]) that continues north into [[Sarasota County, Florida|Sarasota County]]. The name originated from Manasota Lumber Company, a Maryland-based timber company with a sawmill in [[Woodmere, Florida|Woodmere]] from 1918 to 1923.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sarasotahistoryalive.com/index.php?src=directory&view=history&srctype=detail&back=history&refno=1263 |title=Woodmere a Ghost Town |first1=Ann A. |last1=Shank |website=Sarasota History Alive!}}</ref>
Manasota is a portmanteau of manatee and Sarasota.<ref>{{cite web |last1=McCarthy |first1=John |title=A Guide to Sarasota Beaches |url=https://www.sarasotamagazine.com/articles/2015/12/1/guide-to-sarasota-beaches |website=Sarasota Magazine |publisher=SagaCity Media |accessdate=January 7, 2025 |date=December 1, 2015}}</ref>

The community of Englewood Beach occupies the Charlotte County portion of the key, while the Sarasota County part of the peninsula contains the community of [[Manasota Beach, Florida|Manasota Beach]]. The key continues north as [[Caspersen Beach, Florida|Caspersen Beach]], extending as far as the [[Venice, Florida|Venice]] city limits.
