Big Pine

Big Pine has served as a rail-linked island community in the Lower Florida Keys since the early 20th century. It occupies Big Pine Key, part of the low-lying Florida Keys chain between the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay. The National Key Deer Refuge, established in 1957, protects habitat for the diminutive Key deer, a subspecies found only in these islands. U.S. Route 1, the Overseas Highway, carries traffic through the community on the corridor shaped by Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad, which reached Key West in 1912.
