Key Colony Beach is a nice, upscale and very tight knit community. It was the first area to break away from unincorporated Monroe County and become The City of Key Colony Beach. The city was founded in the early fifties by developer Phil Sadowski and was incorporated in September 1957. Two other areas have left unincorporated Monroe County since then. First was The City of Marathon followed by The Village of Islamorada but I don't think either of them have the small town tight community feeling you get when you're in Key Colony Beach.
