Ken Thompson served as Sarasota's city manager from 1950 to 1988,
making him the longest-serving manager in United States history.
During these years, Sarasota experienced a population explosion and
an unprecedented modernization of city services. The city moved
from a sleepy little town to an independent city with an
identifiable economy. This period of growth gave residents a vastly
improved bayfront that included Island Park and the Marina Jack
development and saw the creation of the current city hall and the
Van Wetzel Theater. In thirty-eight years, Sarasota moved from the
Circus City to the multifaceted city it is today. Follow well-known
Sarasota historian Jeff LaHurd as he recounts the sometimes
controversial era of Sarasota's greatest growth.
