摘要

In the late 1800s, oil tycoon Henry Flagler traveled from his New York City home to Florida's East Coast. His impression, according to historians? The state - and Atlantic coastline, in particular - had great potential for development and a booming tourist industry, but lacked transportation and hotel options. Flagler soon began pursuing his hotel-building and rail-development interests and, in 1885, bought the Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Halifax Railroad. The railroad purchase was the first in a series, followed later by rail extensions constructed farther south, that created what is now the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC). The rail line helped spur the development of cities such as West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
