Egmont Key was used in the Seminole Indian Wars and the Civil War. A cemetery for Union and Confederate dead was opened on the island in 1864. Fort Dade was established in 1899 on Egmont Key to help protect the entrance to Tampa Bay from Spanish battleships during the Spanish American War. A settlement was built on the island to house the approximately 300 U.S. Army personnel and officers’ families.
