Overtown, Sarasota s first Black community, celebrated through Rosemary District mural project Kimberly Kuizon reports SARASOTA, Fla. - The streets that make up the Rosemary District – once known as Overtown – date back to the 1880s. Since this area has been developed into the Rosemary district, the history of what was here originally, which was Overtown, has all but disappeared, said Walter Gilbert.   Overtown was Sarasota s first black community. Walter Gilbert is working with the Rosemary Arts and Design District and Dream Large to bring Overtown s history back home.   These people are very important people and people that deserve to be honored and remembered, said Gilbert.
