Treasure Island Beach History
Treasure Island was first settled by the Timucua Indian tribe who continued to trade with other Indian tribes until Panfilo de Narvaez arrived in the area in 1528. The town is said to have gotten its name because a couple of wooden chests were discovered on the beach, which were claimed to have contained treasure. Soon, the people began to call the beach community ‘Treasure Island’. It is also said that Noel A. Mitchell, who was a developer, was responsible for giving the area its present name. He tried to bolster land sales by spreading news that the community had buried treasure.
