The southernmost institution of the “Great 28” in the Florida College System, CFK has experienced tremendous growth in campus facilities and educational programming since its establishment in 1965. In 1963, the Florida Legislature authorized the establishment of the Junior College District of Monroe County to be supported primarily by state funds. The first classes were held at the former Douglass High School in the fall of 1965. In 1968, the College name was changed to Florida Keys Junior College upon the opening of the main campus on Stock Island.
