Rockefeller and formed Standard Oil, which quickly became the top oil refinery company in the U.S. After ten years in New York City with Standard Oil, he moved to St. Augustine to pursue transportation and tourism ventures in Florida.\n In the mid 1880s he began construction on the Hotel Ponce de Leon and quickly purchased the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax Railroad to provide the reliable transportation for out-of-state visistors to reach his hotels and attractions. This railway became only the first in a series of railways that were combined and expanded to become the Florida East Coast Railway. Flagler opened hotels all throughout the state as well as numerous other enterprises and the Florida East Coast Railway grew as he developed areas in the southern parts of the state including Miami and even as far as Key West. The developers in Miami desparately wanted Flagler to continue the railroad to Miami in the 1890s so he was offered land from the Florida East Coast Canal and Transportation Company and the Boston and Florida Atlantic Coast Land Company as well as private landowners.\n Henry Flagler died in 1913 and is buried in St. Augustine. [Source: Biography of Henry Morrison Flagler, Henry Morrison Flagler Musuem, Palm Beach, Florida]","Processed June 17, 1964","The two manuscript letters, dated 1893, are by George F. Miles, St. Augustine, Florida to Landford Fleming, Esq., C.M.G., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and refer to matters pertaining to Flagler enterprises. Mr. Miles at that time was general manager and director of the Florida Coast Line Canal and Transportation Company with headquarters at St. Augustine, and Mr. Fleming was a stockholder in the \"Boston and Florida Land Company.\"\n In his letter of March 21, 1893, Mr. Miles expressed concern about the health of Mr. Fleming, and suggested that the delightful climate in Florida could be beneficial to him. About business matters, he wrote: \"The country along our waterway is making rapid progress just now. The Canal works are going on, and a railway is being pushed as vigorously as possible through our land grant. In addition to this, Mr. Flagler is just about commencing the construction of a hotel to hold 500 people at Lake Worth and which will be open next winter. And the pine-apple industry on the West Shore of the Indian River is making quite a boom in the price of land. Mr. Flagler bought two places on Lake Worth last week, amounting in all to about 50 acres, for which he paid $103.00. I was with him when he closed the transaction and therefore know the particulars. This place is on the levi of our waterway about 260 miles South of St. Augustine... we effected the reorganization of our company on the 14th inst.; Mr. Flagler was elected president and I was appointed general manager and placed on the board of directors...\"\n On May 1, 1893, Mr. Miles informed Mr. Fleming that he had spent \"The last couple of weeks at the Capital of the State arranging for some additional Legislation in connection with our Canal Company... I succeeded in getting our bill through the Senate by a unanimous vote, but it will take a few days before it will be seriously considered in the lower house.\" He then stated that he had returned to St. Augustine to see about, \"starting up our first new dredge which is just about completed, and have to send down the coast for about 150 men... We intend to operate our dredges night and day and hope to have Biscayne Bay connected with the Southern terminals of the new railway - now under construction - by the early part of next season.\" In closing his letter, he expressed the hope that Mr. Fleming had quite recovered from his illness and urged him to \"pay us a visit here.\" Again, he praised the Florida climate.","All requests for permission to quote, publish, broadcast or otherwise reproduce from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Associate Dean for Special Collections and Archives.

Indexes of some of the ledgers are available; consult with the BCL Special Collections staff for more information.","The materials are in their original arrangement.","In 1885 Henry Flagler (1830-1913) began developing what would become the Florida East Coast Railway Company (FEC) in the St. Augustine area. On September 7, 1895, the name of Flagler's system was officially renamed from the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Indian River Railway Company to the Florida East Coast Railway Company and incorporated. The railway reached Fort Lauderdale in March of 1896, Miami in April 1896 and Key West in 1912. The extension marked one of the most significant turning points in the development of Broward County and the rest of South Florida. The FEC remains in operation today.","In 1895 Henry Flagler hired Philemon Bryan (1844-1925) to supervise the 400 Black workers building the Florida East Coast Railway from Pompano to Miami, which he did with the help of his two sons, Tom Bryan (Thomas Murray Bryan, 1879-1969) and Reed Bryan (1878-1937). Many of Broward County's first permanent Black residents came to the area as workers on the FEC railway. Although many of them were independent employees, the FEC also used Black incarcerated workers from the convict release system.\nAfter the opening of the FEC railway, the majority of Broward County residents worked in some capacity in the agriculture industry. They worked as farmers, as field hands, as produce merchants, and in the produce-shipping industry. Aided by the FEC Railway, many of the early cities in the area became major sources of Florida's winter-season produce such as tomatoes, bell peppers, and green beans for the rest of the country. Dania, for example, was known as the \"Tomato Capital of the World,\" and Dania resident Martin C. Frost (1886-1965) was Florida's largest tomato farmer.","In the 1920s, the Land Boom in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade Counties led the FEC to lay multiple additional tracks in South Florida, and the rails were changed from 20 pounds-to-the yard to 132 pounds-to-the yard, allowing higher-speed train shipments. During World War II, railway shipments greatly increased from the Great Depression levels in Florida, and South Florida's many military training centers, Naval yards, and military hospitals benefitted from the FEC's high passenger volume capacity.","The Key West extension of the railway, documented in the Payroll Ledgers, began in 1905 and was completed in 1912. During the project an estimated workforce of between 2,000 and 4,000 workers, depending on the year and season, administered and labored on the railroad. The Florida Overseas Railroad was in operation from 1912 until 1935, when it was partially destroyed by a hurricane. As a result, the FEC Railway Company sold the Overseas Railroad bridges and railroad bed to the State of Florida, and it became the foundation of the US 1 Overseas Highway for motor vehicle traffic.","This collection received item level processing. This finding aid may be updated to reflect new descriptions as well as acquisitions to the collection.","The Florida East Coast Railway Company Records consist of 22 ledgers of employee records dating from 1886 to 1950 and 4 payroll ledgers dating from 1909 to 1911, as well as two publications and a file of records regarding the FEC track extension in Dania.","The information provided in the employee ledgers dating from 1886 to 1950 includes employees' name, date of application, references, age, weight, height, complexion, color of hair, color of eyes, nationality, date of physical examinations and visual examinations, date of train rule examination, date they entered service, capacity or position, promotions, when they left employment and why they left, and remarks regarding their performance. These records detail the service of individual FEC employees throughout the state of Florida. ","The payroll ledgers dating from 1909 to 1911 are from the Key West extension of the railroad (known as the Florida Overseas Railroad). The ledgers show detailed information about the employee's pay rate and job title as well as the location or department that they worked in (examples include Accounting, Stewards Department, and various Mess departments, Dredge Babcock, Boot Key Harbor, and West Summerland).","The collection also includes a file of records regarding extension of the FEC track in Dania dating from 1938 to 1947, a 1937 edition of \"Highways of Florida\" by Walter H. McDonald, a souvenier \"FEC treated tissue for your eyeglasses\", and an \"Official Fort Lauderdale Apartment House Association Guide.\""," Broward County Historical Archives","Florida East Coast Railway","English"],"unitid_tesim":["BCHA.2003.7","/repositories/4/resources/354"],"normalized_date_ssm":["1886-1950"],"normalized_title_ssm":["Florida East Coast Railway Company Records, 1886-1950"],"collection_title_tesim":["Florida East Coast Railway Company Records, 1886-1950"],"collection_ssim":["Florida East Coast Railway Company Records, 1886-1950"],"repository_ssm":["Broward County Historical Archives"],"repository_ssim":["Broward County Historical Archives"],"creator_ssm":["Florida East Coast Railway"],"creator_ssim":["Florida East Coast Railway"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["Florida East Coast Railway"],"creators_ssim":["Florida East Coast Railway"],"acqinfo_ssim":["The Broward County Historical Commission purchased the materials from Wolf's Head Books on March 11, 2003 (Accession BCHA-2003.7)"],"access_subjects_ssim":["Railroads","Railroads--United States--Employees","Florida East Coast Railway","Florida Overseas Railroad","payroll records"],"access_subjects_ssm":["Railroads","Railroads--United States--Employees","Florida East Coast Railway","Florida Overseas Railroad","payroll records"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"extent_ssm":["5 Linear Feet"],"extent_tesim":["5 Linear Feet"],"genreform_ssim":["payroll records"],"date_range_isim":[1886,1887,1888,1889,1890,1891,1892,1893,1894,1895,1896,1897,1898,1899,1900,1901,1902,1903,1904,1905,1906,1907,1908,1909,1910,1911,1912,1913,1914,1915,1916,1917,1918,1919,1920,1921,1922,1923,1924,1925,1926,1927,1928,1929,1930,1931,1932,1933,1934,1935,1936,1937,1938,1939,1940,1941,1942,1943,1944,1945,1946,1947,1948,1949,1950],"accessrestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Florida East Coast Railway Company Records are open for research.

The proposed route was from Fernandina to Cedar Key. \n Its first officers were Florida's first U.S. Senator David L. Yulee, President; George W. Call, Secretary and Treasurer; and Martin L. Smith, Chief Engineer. The principal office of the company was at Fernandina. The Florida Railroad initially received a federal land grant of 290,183.28 acres and a Florida grant of 505,144.14 acres. To help the railroad pay for itself and to help attract new settlers into the area, the state government authorized the Florida Railroad to sell land along its right-of-way. The Florida Land Improvement Society, made up of principal stockholders in the Florida Railroad, was created for the task. Actual construction began in 1855 and was completed in 1860. The line was 155.5 miles long, and the track was imported from England. At the time of completion, the Florida Railroad was considered to have the best equipment in the state with its two passenger cars accommodating 60 persons each, 2 baggage cars, 14 box cars and 21 flatcars.\n By opening up a vast area for development and by furnishing the long awaited coast to coast shipping route, the completion of the Florida Railroad marked a \"new era\" in the development of the state.  However, for various reasons, many citizens opposed the road. Backwoodsmen claimed that turpentine operations, developed as a result of the railroad, ruined their hog ranges and that the railroad killed their cattle. Farmers' wives claimed that market eggs were broken when carts crossed the tracks.\n Service on the railroad was interrupted and the line was damaged heavily during the Civil War when raiding parties from both sides constantly harassed and destroyed the interior lines of communication within Florida. By the close of the Civil War, railroad property in Florida was damaged to the extent of more than a million dollars, or one-seventh of the total valuation of the entire rail system at the time. Due to the devastation of the war, most of the railroad companies failed to make the required payments to the Internal Improvement Fund, large amounts of interest remained unpaid, and the companies faced bankruptcy. Probably the hardest hit of the various roads was David Yulee's Florida Railroad. Its principal terminals had been destroyed, cross ties and bridges along the line were burned or rotting, a large part of the rail had been removed, and of the rolling stock there remained only five engines, three of which were in no condition for immediate use. There were also nine box cars and two dilapidated coaches. Much of the damage was repaired by Federal troops that occupied Florida.\n During 1866, for failure to pay the accruing interest on its bonds and the required payments to the Internal Improvement Fund, the trustees of that Fund took possession of the franchise, and sold the Florida Railroad Company on October 6th, for $323,400, to Isaac K. Roberts, who was acting as agent for Edward N. Dickerson and associates, bondholders and creditors. Reorganization of the company was completed on November 3rd, 1866. The new management continued the reconstruction of the road and immediately placed orders for two new locomotives to supplement those which had survived the ravages of war.\n The Florida Railroad operated under the Dickerson Administration until January 18, 1872, at which time the name of the company was changed to the Atlantic, Gulf and West India Transit Company.","Portions of collection available online?: No","Originally processed in April 1968.

The new management continued the reconstruction of the road and immediately placed orders for two new locomotives to supplement those which had survived the ravages of war.\n The Florida Railroad operated under the Dickerson Administration until January 18, 1872, at which time the name of the company was changed to the Atlantic, Gulf and West India Transit Company."],"originalsloc_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePortions of collection available online?: No\u003c/p\u003e"],"originalsloc_heading_ssm":["Existence and Location of Originals"],"originalsloc_tesim":["Portions of collection available online?: No"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eFlorida Railroad Company Papers, Special Collections \u0026amp; Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida.\nhttps://purl.lib.fsu.edu/fa/MSS-1968-115\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Florida Railroad Company Papers, Special Collections \u0026 Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida.\nhttps://purl.lib.fsu.edu/fa/MSS-1968-115"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eOriginally processed in April 1968.
