Sarasota, Florida History and CultureSarasota, Florida real estate has witnessed profound changes during its history, which spans more than 10,000 years of human habitation, based on the discovery of ancient Indian mounds throughout the area.

Sarasota was incorporated as a city in 1913. Eight years later, Manatee County was subdivided into several new counties, including Sarasota County. During that formative time, the Ringling family of circus fame established a base in Sarasota. Their legacy includes the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art and the Ringling estate, C� d’Zan, is one of the state’s most elegant historical buildings. Other members of the Ringling family helped lead a building boom that attracted many well-to-do people from northern climes. Since the 1920s, Sarasota has been recognized as the cultural center of Florida, as artists of all stripes, including writers, musicians, architects and performance artists gravitated to the area.
