Happy 100 Years! This geocache was placed as part of the Sarasota County Centennial Celebration.
Sarasota County was incorporated in 1921 and the name comes from the word 'Zarazote', which can be found on maps dating as far back as 1763. Most assumed the word was Spanish in origin, however, historians speculate that the word is from a lost Colombian dialect known as the Chibcha language, and we may never know it's original definition. Sarasota is home to roughly 300,000 people and 10 libraries, including North Port Library.
