Currently, the island features over 130 stores, restaurants, boutiques, and a local population of over 12,000 people.

History of the St. Armands Circle Neighborhood

Even though St. Armands Circle Neighborhood is a coveted destination in its present form, it all started with a dream. John and Mable Ringling were the ones who envisioned turning this small island into a luxurious and peaceful oasis.
 
At the start of the 20th century, these circus magnates wanted to turn this island into a residential and commercial hub for affluent citizens. Such was their passion that they transported all the construction materials in a boat before the Ringling Bridge was built. John Ringling wanted to build a destination that provided patronage to artists, shopping, dining, and recreational establishments. With 130 stores now within walking distance of one another, I can surely say the Circle at St. Armands has brought their vision to life.
 
In 2008, the locals decided to restore the statues of the Ringlings and pay them a tribute. Today, you will not only find these statues in the Circle but also tidbits describing the captivating history of St. Armands Circle. Apart from that many places on the island are named after them like John Ringling Blvd.
 
I can say St. Armands Circle is a true example of how a vision can be brought to life.
