  more about St. Armand's Circle ...

St. Armands is home to several fine shops and gourmet restaurants. Marked by its continental flavor, it is a charming and graceful synthesis of past and present. Lush tropical plantings, courtyards and patios, antique statuary and contemporary architectural design skillfully contribute to an international atmosphere of friendly warmth, enduring elegance, and timeless style.

Today, there are more than 130 stores on St. Armands Circle courting customers from all over the United States and many foreign countries.  In the 1900's, the key was just an isolated island too far from the village of Sarasota to attract much attention.

Charles St. Amand, A Frenchman was the first resident of the island which he purchased for $21.71.  His name was misspelled "St. Armand" and this spelling has lived on.

John Ringling purchased the St. Armands Key property in 1917 and planned a development which included residential lots and a shopping center laid out in a circle.

Ringling hired an old paddle-wheel steamboat, the "Success," to service as a work boat. His crews labored at dredging canals, building seawalls, and installing sidewalks and streets lined with rose-colored curbs. In 1925, work began on a causeway to join St. Armands Key to the mainland. Circus elephants were used to haul the huge timbers from which the bridge and causeway were built.

One year later the John Ringling Causeway and Ringling Estates development opened to the public. He operated a there a free bus service from downtown Sarasota to St. Armands for his prospective buyers.


John Ringling's influence is still evident today in the planning and design of the streets and the Italian statuary from his personal collection he placed around the key. .
