To His Excellency, Millard Caldwell, Governor of the State of Florida: Sir: In ac·cordance with the prov1s1ons of Chapter 22515, Laws of Florida, Acts of the Legislature of 1945, requiring the taking of the census of the population of the State for the year of 1945, I have the honor to submit my report of the same. The result of the census, is c·ontained in one volume, which in most part is given in tabular form, showing the general and steady growth of the State's population from 1830 to 1945. These tables show by race, sex and age periods the population of the counties, and other civil and political divisions, and the place of birth. Respectfully submitted, NATHAN MAYO Commissioner of Agriculture. Introductory Notes In 1821 the Territory of Florida was organized into two counties, Escambia and St. Johns. Escambia County, formerly known as "West Florida," comprised the territory west of the • Suwannee River, and St. Johns County, formerly known as "East Florida," included the rest of the territory of Florida. The first Census presented herein, is that taken by the United States Government in the year of 1830. During that period (1821-1830) the two original counties had been divided and subdivided, making seventeen counties in the first Census. Beginning with this Census, which re­ ported a total population of 34,730, representing two races (18,185 white and 16,345 negro), this report brings up the population development of the State, showing each succeeding Census taken by the United States Government, and those taken by the State where the records are available, to and including the 1945 State Census, which reports a total popu­ lation of 2,249,925 persons living in sixty-seven counties, and representing five different races of people, White, Negro, Indian, Chinese and Japanese. (Many Indians lived in Florida at the time of the first Census, but the record of their popula­ tion is not available.) The White and Negro races, which comprises more than 99.9 per cent of the entire population, are very evenly distributed throughout the State. The Censuses presented herein that were taken by the State are for the years 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, 1925, 1935 and 1945. All others were taken by the United States Government. This report is called the "Seventh State Census," but it is true that the State has taken the Census population regularly at each ten-year period since, and including 1837, but the records for those taken prior to the year 1885 are not at this time available. This report is presented in the most part in tabular form, and the tables are so arranged that with the explanatory notes, __•......' _ it is easy to find any information that may be desired, relating to the Census. - 4 FLORIDA STATE CENSUS 5 Formation of Counties and Changes in Their Boundaries by Years 1821-Escambia and St. Johns established. 1822-Jackson and Duval created, causing changes in Escambia and St. Johns. 1823-Gadsden created. 1824-Alachua, Leon, Monroe, Mosquito, Nassau and Walton cre- ated, causing changes in most of the others. 1827-Hamilton, Madison and Jefferson created. 1832-Columbia and Franklin created. 1834-Hillsborough created. 1836-Dade created. 1838-Calhoun created from Jackson. 1842-Santa Rosa formed from Escambia. 1843-Benton was created from Alauchua, and Wakulla was formed from Leon. 1844-Marion was formed from Alachua, Hillsborough and Mos­ quito; St. Lucie was created from Mosquito. 1845-Levy formed from Alachua ·and Hillsborough; Mosquito changed to Orange; part of Jackson added to Calhoun. 1846-Washington formed from Walton and Jackson. 1848-Holmes formed from Calhoun and Walton. 1849-Putnam formed from Alachua, Orange, Marion and St. Johns. 1850-Benton changed to Hernando. 1853-Sum-ter created. 1854-Volusia created. 1855-St. Lucie changed to Brevard and territory divided among Brevard, Dade and Volusia; Manatee and Liberty created. 1856-Lafayette and Taylor created. 1858-New River and Suwannee created from Columbia, and Clay formed from Duval. 1861-Baker formed from New River, and remaining portion of New River changed to Bradford; Polk formed from Brevard. 1871-Boundaries of Polk and Sumter were changed. 1872-Part of Sumter given to Orange. 1873-Brevard boundary with Orange was changed; Jackson boundaries were changed; boundaries of Washington were changed. 1874-The boundaries of Brevard with Dade and Manatee were changed. 1875-Boundaries of Calhoun and Jackson were changed; bound­ I aries of Duval and St. Johns were changed. 1877-Boundaries of Lafayette and Taylor changed; Levy acquired - territory from Marion. 1879-Brevard annexed part of Volusia; J efferson and Leon boundaries were changed, and the boundaries of Orange with Polk and Sumter were changed. 1887-Citrus was formed from Hernando; DeSoto formed from Manatee; Lee was formed from Monroe; Osceola was formed from Brevard and Orange; Pasco was formed from Hernando; Lake or­ ganized from parts of Orange and Sumter. 1905-St. Lucie was re-created, being formed from Brevard. 6 FLORIDA STATE CENSUS 1909-Paim Beach was formed from Dade; Levy's boundary with Alachua was changed slightly, as also was boundary of Gadsden and Liberty. 1911-Pinellas was formed from Hillsborough. 1913-Bay was formed from Calhoun and Washington; Seminole was formed from Orange. 1915-Broward was formed from Dade and Palm Beach; Okaloosa was formed from Santa Rosa and Walton; slight boundary changes were made in Holmes, Jackson and Washington. 1917-0keechobee was created from Osceola, Palm Beach and St. Lucie. 1917-Flagler was created from St. Johns and Volusia. 1921-Dixie county was created from Lafayette. 1921-Union county was created from Bradford. 1921-Sarasota county was created from Manatee. 1921-Charlotte county was created from DeSoto. 1921-Hardee county was created from DeSoto. 1921-Glades county was created from DeSoto. 1921-Highlands county was created from DeSoto. 1923-Hendry county was created from Lee. 1923-Collier county was created from Lee. 1925-Gllchrist county was created from Alachua. 1925-Indian River county was created from St. Lucie. 1925-Martin county was created from St. Lucie and Palm Beach. 1925-Gulf county was created from Calhoun. f - FLORIDA STATE CENSUS 7 Origin and Names of Florida Counties Alachua-<From an Indian term, meaning "grassy or marshy").

Burke Kibler in Lakeland, Florida at the Holland and Knight law firm, and we are talking through Mr. Kibler’s memory of his growing up and his professional and business career. Mr. Kibler, nice to be with you again this week. B: Thank you Mike. M: We ended up last time with your memories of graduation from the University of Florida Law School and I had asked you this week to think about some people that you knew in law school that you had a chance to work with over your life in business, in public affairs or some of the other things you have been involved in. Were there any that you remembered this week that you would like to talk about? B: As I had observed just a minute ago, I hadn’t really thought about it like I promised, but it comes to mind that there were so many that were an important part of my life and remained good and close friends, even until now, and some are no longer with us, but one of my closest friends was a native of Bradenton, Dewey Dye. Dewey’s father had been a member of the State Senate, and when I met his father before I actually met Dewey.

  • Chapter 4: the Long and Winding Road to Park Establishment
    Chapter 4: The Long and Winding Road to Park Establishment With the passage of the authorizing act for Everglades National Park in May 1934, the scene of action shifted from Washington to Florida. Section 1 of the act stipulated that no federal funds were to be appropriated for land acquisition. Land could be acquired only by donation from the state or from private parties. Addition- ally, the secretary of the interior would not accept land for the park on a piecemeal basis. The park would be considered established only when the state had assembled sufficient acreage that in the aggregate was acceptable to the secretary for administra- tion as a national park. About 20 percent of the land within the maximum authorized boundary was state owned. Among the state’s holdings were 99,200 acres in Monroe County that had been set aside in 1917 as a reservation for the use of the Seminole Indians.165 Some 50,000 acres already belonged to the federal government. President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order in October 1934 removing all federally owned land within the boundary from sale or settlement, so that it would remain available when the park was ultimately established.166 The Model Land Company, the Collier Corporation, and the Chevelier Corporation owned the great majority of the private holdings, but there were hundreds of small holders. The typical procedure for acquiring private land for a national park was for a state to set up a commission with authority to accept donations and purchase land. This procedure had been followed in acquiring land for Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Tennessee/North Carolina border and Big Bend National Park in Texas.
