Lemon Bay Historical Society
Our Logo
The Lemon Bay Historical Society's logo depicts the early days of the Lemon Bay area. Bob Cashatt, who grew up in Englewood, designed it.
The grubbing hoe over the man's shoulder was used to clear the scrub palmettos shown in front of the man. They had to be cleared before building or gardening. The cabbage palm tree, to the left, furnished protection from the elements, and was also a source of food. The fronds were layered like shingles on both walls and roofs of shelters. The center fronds of new growth were woven into hats and the heart was eaten.
Fishing was the main industry and source of food for the pioneers. This is depicted by the fisherman in the boat with the net over the stern.
The sailboat brought supplies into the bay. There were no roads or bridges, only wagon trails.
