Islamorada, "Village of Islands" is a village in Monroe County, Florida, on the island of Upper Matecumbe Key in the Florida Keys. As of the 2000 census, the village had a total population of 6,846. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 6,772 *. The name "Islamorada", meaning "purple isle", comes from early Spanish explorers in the area, and means (only by coincidence) "Islam is over there" in Turkish.
Islamorada was hit almost directly by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, causing 423 deaths.
According to the grand jury indictment of a group of seven alleged al-Qaeda related domestic terrorists *, in January 2006 Islamadora was used as a meeting site by four of the group with an undercover FBI agent they believed to be an al-Qaeda representative.
