  • Florida Jewish History Month January
    Florida Jewish History Month January Background Information In October of 2003, Governor Jeb Bush signed a historic bill into law designating January of each year as Florida Jewish History Month. The legislation for Florida Jewish History Month was initiated at the Jewish Museum of Florida by, the Museum's Founding Executive Director and Chief Curator, Marcia Zerivitz. Ms. Zerivitz and State Senator Gwen Margolis worked closely with legislators to translate the Museum's mission into a statewide observance. It seemed appropriate to honor Jewish contributions to the State, as sixteen percent, over 850,000 people of the American Jewish community lives in Florida. Since 1763, when the first Jews settled in Pensacola immediately after the Treaty of Paris ceded Florida to Great Britain from Spain, Jews had come to Florida to escape persecution, for economic opportunity, to join family members already here, for the climate and lifestyle, for their health and to retire. It is a common belief that Florida Jewish history began after World War II, but in actuality, the history of Floridian Jews begins much earlier. The largest number of Jews settled in Florida after World War II, but the Jewish community in Florida reaches much further into the history of this State than simply the last half-century. Jews have actively participated in shaping the destiny of Florida since its inception, but until research of the 1980s, most of the facts were little known. One such fact is that David Levy Yulee, a Jewish pioneer, brought Florida into statehood in 1845, served as its first U.S.

    Reflections on the State Songs of Florida DAVID Z. KUSHNER According to the Laws of the State of Florida (Regular Session, 1913), House Government Resolution No. 24 stated, under the date of 12 May 1913, That, Whereas, in view of the fact that many of the Public Schools of the State are now singing, as a part of their daily exercise, the song, “Florida, My Florida,” a song written in 1894 by Rev. Dr. C.V. Waugh, for many years an honored Professor of Languages in the old Florida Agricultural College in Lake City, and whereas, The said song has both metrical and patriotic merit of the kind calculated to inspire love for home and native State, therefore, be it Resolved, that this song, “Florida, My Florida,” be and the same is hereby declared by the Legislature of the State of Florida to be the “State Song,” to be sung to the tune of “Maryland, My Maryland,” and that it is recommended for use in the daily exercises of the public schools of the State of Florida, as well as at all public gatherings where singing forms a part of the program. The following is the song: FLORIDA, MY FLORIDA (State Patriotic Song for Schools, C.V. Waugh) Land of my birth, bright sunkissed land, Florida, My Florida, Laded by the Gulf and Ocean grand, Florida, My Florida, Of all the States in East or West, Unto my heart thou art the best; Here may I live, here may I rest, Florida, My Florida. In country, town, or hills and dells, Florida, My Florida, The rhythmic chimes of thy school bells Florida, My Florida, Will call thy children day by day To learn to walk the patriot’s way, Firmly to stand for thee for aye, Florida, My Florida.

  • 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.

This comprehensive book contains very useful information and pictures on the history of motor vehicle registration in Florida. To understand how our division began in the early 1900’s our story unfolds with the registration of motor vehicles and their drivers. Just imagine, at the turn of the century motorized vehicles were a figment of the imagination. The most popular mode of transportation was by horseback or horse and buggy. Life was much simpler then and regulatory involvement was not necessary as it is today. Now, over one hundred years later, motor vehicles and autonomous vehicles are an integral part of our lives. As our dependency on motor vehicles grew, so did our need for public and fraud protection. The Division of Motor Vehicles developed ways to regulate the motor vehicle industry with its popular demand. This includes the operation and ownership of vehicles, along with the manufacturing and sales of motor vehicles. We appreciate those who’ve reserved this history and provided their public service throughout the years. Registration of motor vehicles began with manual typewriters, then electric typewriters, and has progressed to the on-line computer age as technology has advanced.
