The community was named after Dr. Henry Perrine, who was granted a survey township of land in recognition of his service as United States Consul in Campeche, Mexico, and to support his plans to introduce new plants from tropical countries into cultivation in the United States. While waiting to hear if Congress had approved his grant, Dr. Perrine took up residence with his family at Indian Key in 1838. This location was considered safer than the southern Florida mainland, as the Second Seminole War was still in progress. On August 7th, Indians attacked Indian Key.
