Here's what happened on April 23, 1982:

• Conch Republic Independence Day On April 23, 1982, Dennis Wardlow, the Mayor of Key West, Florida, symbolically declared the independent 'Conch Republic' as a humorous protest against a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint that was disrupting local tourism and commerce. The mock secession was a satirical response to a federal roadblock that was searching all vehicles entering and leaving the Florida Keys, effectively treating the area like a border zone. This lighthearted act of rebellion lasted only one day but became a legendary moment in Florida's quirky local history, highlighting the residents' independent spirit and sense of humor.
