Osprey is home to Historic Spanish Point, a 30-acre site which juts into the waters of Little Sarasota Bay. It is bordered by mangroves on its west and pine flatwoods (and a residential neighborhood) to the east. Historic Spanish Point was first occupied as early as 3,000 BC, as evidenced by a prehistoric Calusa Indian burial mound and two shell mounds. Historic Spanish Point was named for the Spanish and Cuban sailors and traders who paid regular commercial visits to the area. It was later discovered and developed by Bertha Honore Palmer.
