Key West is an unincorporated community in Polk County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota.
An old variant name was Bockersville.[1] The present name of Key West may be derived from nearby Keystone Township, according to local history. A post office was established under the name Bockersville in 1892, the name was changed to Keywest in 1896, and the post office was discontinued in 1910.[2]
