The Miakka School House was built in 1914 by J.B. Rogers for $1,390 and was the first school in Manatee County to be built using school bonds authorized by the Legislature of 1913. This area remained part of Manatee County until 1921. The two acres surrounding the school house were deeded to the county school board on July 23, 1914 by Augustus M. and Calidonia Wilson. "Gus" Wilson represented Manatee County in the State Legislature in 1913 and 1915 and also served as Miakka's postmaster, tax assessor, census enumerator, and a school board member for eight years. When the building was completed, Professor Lee Hall was hired for $55 a month. Teachers generally lived with local families, and school was held only five months each year because pupils were needed at home for crops and other chores. The Miakka School was disbanded around 1944, and its pupils were sent to other schools. From 1933 to 1944, Jasper Crowley was the much loved teacher there. On July 3, 1986, the Miakka School was officially listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
