True Key Deer on No Name Key in the Florida Keys.

No Name Key is an island located in the lower Florida Keys in the United States. It is somewhat remote and sparsely populated, and does not have electricity (residents use generators) which limits development of the key. No Name Key is a fairly small island in comparison to its neighbor, Big Pine Key, which lies about a half mile to its west. It is accessible by a concrete bridge that connects the small island with Big Pine Key. Some of its native residents include the endangered Key Deer.

No Name Key was the terminus of a car ferry that existed before the present Overseas Highway was built on the remains of Flagler's Overseas Railroad.

[edit] Paramilitary uses

Main article: Interpen

In 1962-1963 No Name Key was the headquarters of a group of anti-Castro activists known as Interpen, or Intercontinental Pentration Force, led by an ex-marine named Gerry Patrick Hemming, who had worked with the Castro forces in Cuba in 1959-1960.^[1]
