įollowing exploration, the area was occupied by fishing camps, called ranchos. Īn early map of the area from 1763 shows the word "Zarazote" across present day Sarasota.
The story held that the town was named after the daughter of famous explorer Hernando de Soto's daughter Sara. In the early twentieth-century, a fanciful story was created to go hand-in-hand with a pageant held in Sarasota. Īlthough the name was associated with the area from the beginning of European contacts, the origin of the name "Sarasota" is unknown. Evidence of human remains as well as a burned out log at the Warm Mineral Springs, in North Port, were discovered that date to the early Archaic period. The area that is now known as Sarasota County has been inhabited by humans for some 10,000 years. Downtown Sarasota, the county seat, from the John Ringling Causeway
