The City of Miramar, State of Florida, Seminole Tribe of Florida, and Broward County have preserved this park in honor of Chitto-Tustenuggee's (Snake Warrior) village, once located on the island.

Archaeological excavations revealed European trade items such as glass beads and other Seminole artifacts at the site.

An 1840s map shows the location of the village within the park.
