CROOKS T the inauguration of the new Jacksonville city-county consoli- A dated government in October 1968, Local Government Study Commission Chairman James Jacqueline Daniel wrote that “Jack- sonville had experienced a political renaissance.” Ten years later, Jacksonville mayor Hans Tanzler declared that consolidated gov- ernment was “the salvation” of the city. In 1993, at the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of consolidated government, then-Mayor Ed Austin called for rekindling “the spirit that drove the consolida- tion effort . because our form of government is the envy of cities around the world.” Tanzler, chairing that celebratory occasion, agreed, adding, “[c]onsolidation has been described as Jackson- ville’s ‘Greatest Moment.’“1 For many Jacksonville residents, the consolidation of city and county governments in 1968 climaxed a decade of changes in Jack- sonville, but it was not the only show in town. The decade also saw substantial urban growth and development, a full fledged civil rights movement, attempts to turn around a school system in crisis, and substantial political reform before consolidation took place. In effect, consolidation became the capstone for a decade of urban development and reform. The starting point for change can be seen in the demograph- ics. The city’s population declined slightly from 204,517 in 1950 to 201,030 in 1960 (and still further to approximately 196,000 in 1965), while Duval County grew rapidly from 304,029 to 455,411 during the same period. This county gain of almost fifty percent was a continuation of a suburban population boom begun at the end of World War II resulting from local economic growth and in- creased birth rates.2 James Crooks is professor of history at the University of North Florida.

Stevens: The Railroad Depot: A Photographic Essay THE RAILROAD DEPOT: A PHOTO ESSAY by R. Randolph Stevens From 1830 through the 1950s railroads were the tie, the sinew, that bound our country together. Pioneers first traveled by using the lakes and streams. Eventually, roads were cut, canals dug, and finally track was laid to connect the seaboard towns and cities with the interior of the country. This transportation revolution had little effect on Florida until after the Civil War when two Yankee railroad builders, Henry Bradley Plant and Henry Morrison Flagler changed the landscape of central and south Florida. Their investments and foresight brought ribbons of track down the west and east coasts over the next few years, sparking an economic boom. In 1883, Plant’s South Florida Railroad came into Tampa, and the west coast began to grow in earnest. Before long twin rails extended down to Venice, Boca Grande, Naples and Everglades City.

SPAIN RETURNS TO PENSACOLA, 1781 N THE FIRST DAY of January, 1777, an event in New Or- O leans was to have important consequences for the history of Pensacola: Bernardo de Galvez formally assumed the governor- ship of Louisiana. Galvez was typical of the colonial officials who were appointed during that Indian Summer of Spanish Imperial history, the reign of Charles III. A career officer in the royal armies, he had already distinguished himself in several theaters: first in Portugal, then in Mexico against the Indians on the northern frontier where, under his famous uncle Jose de Galvez, he displayed those traits of energy, initiative, and leader- ship which characterized his subsequent career. During the next few years he served in the French army for training purposes and in 1776 was ordered to New Orleans as commander of the garrison and subsequently promoted to the governorship of the colony while still less than thirty years of age.

With support from Planning Innovations, Inc Quandel Consultants December 2010 Florida Department of Transportation CHARLIE CRIST " STEPHANIE C. KOPELOUSOS 605 Suwannee Street GOVERNOR Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 SECRETARY December 14, 2010 Citizens of Florida: I am pleased to submit to you the Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan. Unlike in past years, where the Florida Rail System Plan was more descriptive of the separate freight and passenger rail systems, this plan is more visionary, strategic, and policy-driven. The plan was guided by a broad base of stakeholders, including the Rail Stakeholder Advisory Committee, members of the public and private sectors, modes of transportation, economic development and environmental interests, and citizen representatives. The Committee and others worked throughout the summer and fall of 2009 to develop an inventory of Florida's rail system needs and recommend priority investments that support the strategic goals, objectives, and policies of the Florida Rail System Plan. The Florida Rail System Plan is comprised of a Policy Element and this document, the Investment Element. The Policy Element provides a broad policy framework for the investment of limited state resources in Florida's rail system. The Investment Element builds upon the framework of the Policy Element by identifying the needs of Florida's rail system, establishing priorities for the investment of state funds, and setting forth future action steps necessary to implement the plan. Florida in the year 2030 will be shaped by the actions, decisions, and policy choices made today.

  • 3.0 Passenger Rail Services and Initiatives in Florida
    Investment Element of the 2010 Florida Rail System Plan 3.0 Passenger Rail Services and Initiatives in Florida 3.1 Overview Although Florida’s total population shrunk by about 60,000 residents in 2009 – a first in over three decades according to state demographers – and overall population growth rates have declined three points to approximately 2 percent annually due in large part to the nationwide recession and declining housing market, the State is expected to continue to attract retirees and residents looking for warmer weather and low costs of living. State demographers at the University of Florida predict that once the recession ends, Florida can expect to grow as much as 200,000 people per year – fewer than the 300,000 a year the State averaged during the past three decades, but enough to lead most other states in net growth. By 2035, more than 25 million people will call Florida home, representing a 56 percent increase between 2000 and 2035.45 In absolute terms, Florida will add over 9 million people to its population between this time period. Furthermore, although much of Florida’s growth will be concentrated in urbanized areas, growth will occur across Florida’s regions and urbanized area boundaries will expand across county lines. Florida’s density per square mile was 344 according to the 2009 Census and was ranked the eighth densest state in the nation. Population growth, and the associated transportation demand, will place additional pressure on all aspects of the State’s transportation system. A growing population not only adds automobiles to roadways, but the increase in economic activity to support this population also will generate additional demands for freight movement.

  • Appendix A: Historic Context and References
    APPENDIX A: HISTORIC CONTEXT AND REFERENCES FROM THE HISTORIC PROPERTIES RESURVEY, CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH, NASSAU COUNTY, FLORIDA, BLAND AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 2007 Colonial Period, 1565-1821 Founded in the early nineteenth century and incorporated in 1824, Fernandina Beach is one of Florida's oldest cities. The principal city of Nassau County, Fernandina Beach is located on the north end of Amelia Island, which has a colonial heritage associated with early French explorers, the First Spanish period, the British period, and the Second Spanish period. Early French explorers named the island "Isle de Mai" and Pedro Menendez built a fort there in 1567. In 1598 and 1675, Spanish missions built on the island contributed to a larger system implemented by the Spanish Crown to convert the Indians to Catholicism. In 1702, an English incursion from Charleston, South Carolina, attacked St. Augustine, but also invaded an outpost on the island and threatened the missions. Later, in 1735, when James Oglethorpe attempted to secure the St. Marys River as the southern boundary of his new colony, the Georgian scouted the island, which he named Amelia for one of King George II's daughters (Johannes 2000:3-4). Between 1513 and 1763, Spain failed to settle permanently any area of Florida except the immediate environs of St. Augustine. Besides establishing a permanent base at the port city and a chain of missions into the interior, the Spanish accomplished little of lasting significance. Farmers and ranchers cleared land for cattle, and planted crops and fruit trees. But, the growth of English colonies to the north in the 1700s and forays by settlers and militia into Florida destabilized Spain's nascent agricultural economy and mission system.
