The area, at the time, was referred to as Zara Zote, the local name. It was a beneficial settlement for the natives due to the bay that harbored calm waters due to the nearby islands acting as a barrier to the choppy Gulf.After alternating between Spanish and English settlers and ownership, the area permanently fell to US ownership when it was acquired in the early 19th century. At that point, the US Army set up Fort Armistead along the shore.It was only after this that settlement began in earnest, with families arriving in the 1840s. It was still known by its Spanish name Zara Zote but slowly evolved to become Sara Sota. The climate in the area, being tropical, afforded an easier path to settlement, having stable weather all year. Also, the waters provided a rich harvest of fish.
