Key West is a city in Monroe County, Florida, United States. The city encompasses the island of Key West, the part of Stock Island north of U.S. 1 (the Overseas Highway) (east), Sigsbee Park (north, originally known as Dredgers Key), Fleming Key (north), and Sunset Key (west, originally known as Tank Island). Both Fleming Key and Sigsbee Park are part of Naval Air Station Key West and are inaccessible by civilians. Key West is the county seat of Monroe County.[3] Key West is the southernmost city in the Continental United States. It is also the southern terminus of U.S. 1, State Road A1A, the East Coast Greenway and, before 1935, the Florida East Coast Railway.
Key West is 129 miles (208 km) southwest (229.9 degrees) of Miami, Florida,[4] (about 160 miles (260 km) by car) and 106 miles (171 km) north-northeast (21.2 degrees) of Havana, Cuba.[5] Cuba, at its closest point, is 94 statute miles (151 km) south.[6] Key West is a seaport destination for many passenger cruise ships.[7] The Key West International Airport provides airline service. Hotels and guest houses are available for lodging. Naval Air Station Key West is an important year round training site for naval aviation due to the superb weather conditions. It is also a reason the city was chosen as the Winter White House of President Harry S. Truman. The central business district primarily comprises Duval Street, and includes much of the northwest corner of the island along Whitehead, Simonton, Front, Greene, Caroline, and Eaton Streets and Truman Avenue. The official city motto is One Human Family.
**************************************
Key West è il nome di una città e di un'isola situate nel punto continentale più a sud degli Stati Uniti, nelle Florida Keys della Contea di Monroe, Florida.
La città è raggiungibile da nord attraverso la U.S. Route 1. Confina con Stock Island a nord, Sigbee Park e Fleming Key sempre a nord e Sunset Key a ovest. A nord ovest Wisteria Island e Key Haven a nord est. Sia Fleming Key che Sigsbee Park fanno parte della Naval Air Station Key West e sono inaccessibili ai civili.
Molti famosi americani hanno scelto di abitare a Key West. Lo scrittore Ernest Hemingway, il drammaturgo Tennessee Williams, il naturalista John James Audubon, il pittore Winslow Homer e il presidente Harry S. Truman sono stati abitanti dell'isola. La casa di Hemingway e quella di Truman, Little White House, sono musei aperti al pubblico.
L'architettura delle vecchie case in legno è molto pittoresca. Buona parte del legno per le costruzioni è ricavato dal recupero di navi naufragate nei dintorni.
Key West è rinomata per la sfrenata vita notturna che comincia con il tramonto in Mallory Square, la piazza principale affacciata sul mare, e prosegue nei molti locali e bar del centro. Sloppy Joe's, il bar preferito da Hemingway è ancora una popolare destinazione. Negli ultimi anni Key West è diventato meta dei principali linee di crociere nei Caraibi.
