History
The earlier name for this island was Cocolobo Key. It was the site of the Cocolobo Cay Club, a private resort. Everything on the island, including the still-standing buildings of the club, was destroyed in 1992 when Hurricane Andrew passed almost directly over Adams Key.
It was named Adams' Key on U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey of 1862.
According to the local legends, the island served as a base for "Black Caesar", a pirate.
