Documenting the significant activities and personalities of the New Deal, the narrative discusses the significant "alphabet agencies" implemented by the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and their effect on Florida's landscape. A research tool and predictive model to help identify potential resources built in association with New Deal dollars in the state's urban centers, towns, and communities, this section provides the necessary historical context for the listing of Florida's New Deal resources in the National Register of Historic Places. NEW DEAL HISTORIC CONTEXT, 1933-1943 The collapse of the Florida land boom in the mid-1920s resulted in Florida's entering an economic depression while much of the rest of the country enjoyed several more years of sustained economic prosperity. In 1926, forty banks closed throughout the state, numerous hotels were shuttered and entered foreclosure, and hundreds of light manufacturing jobs were lost in the printing, railroad, and turpentine industries. Hurricanes that struck south Florida in 1926 and 1928 helped precipitate the end of the land boom. Although several south Florida cities experienced a mild resurgence of construction following the hurricanes, most development simply repaired public facilities and replaced destroyed commercial buildings and dwellings, rather than providing places of business and homes to new entrepreneurs and residents. Real estate assessments statewide plummeted by $182,000,000 between 1926 and 1930, and building permits went into steep declines in Jacksonville, Miami, and Tampa. In Miami, building permits reached the $60,000,000 mark in 1925 and fell under $5,000,000 in 1928, a level maintained until 1937. Infestation by Mediterranean fruit flies resulted in Florida's citrus farmers harvesting 14,000,000 fewer boxes of fruit in the 1928 season than in the previous year. By the time the Great Depression struck in 1929, Florida had entered its own economic depression. 1 The nation's era of prosperity began to tumble in September 1929, and then fell with devastating results on 29 October 1929, historically known as "Black Tuesday." Between September and November 1929, the Dow Jones Industrial Index lost one-half of its value, falling from 452 to 224; in July 1932, the nadir of the depression, the index stood at fifty-eight. During the ensuing decade, the population of Florida rose from 1,568,211 in 1930, to 1,606,842 in 1935, and reached 1,897,414 in 1940. Most cities experienced a population increase, with the largest growth occurring in southeast Florida. The administration of Governor Doyle Carlton, who took office in January 1929, was dominated by the Great Depression, the full brunt of which made its impact in Florida in the early-1930s. In 1930, Florida's unemployment rate stood at 5.5 percent; its urban population totaled fifty-two percent, the highest urban rate in the South. The state's unemployment rate reached its highest levels in urban areas, with Miami at 11.5 percent and Tampa at 9.2 percent. Rural Florida registered an average unemployment rate of 2.9 percent.

He repeatedly recommended streamlining government functions, retiring bonded municipal debts, and increasing agricultural experimental and extension work to improve farm output. Carlton found himself at odds with the legislature over pari-mutuel betting at horse tracks, school finance, and inheritance taxes. In 1931, he signed into law legislation that allocated one-half of the sixth cent of the state's gasoline tax to retire the debts of Florida's counties, and doubled state aid to public schools.2 Partly because of Carlton's conservatism, the state government made little effort to assist the unemployed beyond those nascent attempts at relief. Some municipal governments responded more quickly to the financial crisis. In February 1931, seventeen Florida counties reported local public welfare programs, which increasingly were beset with finding the unemployed jobs. Although no cities possessed sufficient resources to contend with their specific economic emergencies, municipal governments at Daytona Beach, Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, Lakeland, Lake Worth, Orlando, Pensacola, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and West Palm Beach took some steps to provide a measure of relief to the afflicted. In 1931, Josiah Fitch, the mayor of Ft. Myers, established

  • 1933–1941, a New Deal for Forest Service Research in California
    The Search for Forest Facts: A History of the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, 1926–2000 Chapter 4: 1933–1941, A New Deal for Forest Service Research in California By the time President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won his landslide election in 1932, forest research in the United States had grown considerably from the early work of botanical explorers such as Andre Michaux and his classic Flora Boreali- Americana (Michaux 1803), which first revealed the Nation’s wealth and diversity of forest resources in 1803. Exploitation and rapid destruction of forest resources had led to the establishment of a federal Division of Forestry in 1876, and as the number of scientists professionally trained to manage and administer forest land grew in America, it became apparent that our knowledge of forestry was not entirely adequate. So, within 3 years after the reorganization of the Bureau of Forestry into the Forest Service in 1905, a series of experiment stations was estab- lished throughout the country. In 1915, a need for a continuing policy in forest research was recognized by the formation of the Branch of Research (BR) in the Forest Service—an action that paved the way for unified, nationwide attacks on the obvious and the obscure problems of American forestry. This idea developed into A National Program of Forest Research (Clapp 1926) that finally culminated in the McSweeney-McNary Forest Research Act (McSweeney-McNary Act) of 1928, which authorized a series of regional forest experiment stations and the undertaking of research in each of the major fields of forestry. Then on March 4, 1933, President Roosevelt was inaugurated, and during the “first hundred days” of Roosevelt’s administration, Congress passed his New Deal plan, putting the country on a better economic footing during a desperate time in the Nation’s history.

Despite this impractical decision, they have been extremely supportive, both emotionally and at times, financially. Aimee Griffith was present in my life for most of my graduate school career. She was frequently the emotional crutch I leaned upon when I studied for my comprehensive exams and when I faced the daunting task of writing the first words of this dissertation.
