Our Islands
Seven-and-a-half-mile Anna Maria Island is a nostalgic look back to a time when people and things moved slower. As a matter of fact, the maximum speed limit is just 35 miles per hour.

Bradenton & Manatee River
The area that would become Bradenton (originally spelled Bradentown) was first explored in 1539 by the Spanish during the famous expedition led by Hernando De Soto. Bradenton was established in 1842. The original town of Bradentown was incorporated in 1903. The city took the name of Dr. Joseph Braden, whose nearby fort-like house was a refuge for early settlers during Seminole Indian attacks. The current city of Bradenton was formed in 1943, when the Florida legislature merged the cities of Manatee (incorporated in 1888) and Bradentown
We begin our aerial journey over the Courtyard by Marriott on the shores of the Manatee River.
The South Florida Museum home to Bishop Planetarium also sits near the Bradenton side of the Manatee River.
Two popular restaurants are on opposite sides of the Manatee River. Pier 22 Patio & Ballroom sits on the Bradenton Side and the Riverhouse Reef & Grille sits on the Palmetto side.

Oral History Video: Allan Horton on Palma Sola and Snead Island
Allan Horton was born in Palma Sola in Manatee County, Florida, and later moved to Sarasota. Throughout his life, he has always had boats and even as a child helped repair and build boats. Allan has worked as a journalist, cowboy, merchant seaman, legislative aid, and was enlisted in the Army, among other occupations. He wrote for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune for 24 years, and fought for Sarasota to adopt environmental protection standards before allowing the phosphate mining industry in Polk County to expand here. He also wrote editorials opposing the use of entanglement nets, and briefly wrote a Waterlines column for the Pelican. Allan's father was the engineer of record for the original design of the Sunshine Skyway bridge; when a freighter collided with the bridge, Allan was there to report on it. He continues to sail, and volunteers for the maritime history program at Historic Spanish point, where he builds and interprets boats from the pioneer period. You can read the full-length transcript of this interview, conducted by New College of Florida student Puneet Sandhu, by visiting the Sarasota County Water Atlas,
