Flagler, along with John D. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company, in Ohio back in the 1800s. He used his money and influence to buy, and develop most of the Atlantic Coast of Florida.

And never forget, he lived for a time in the land of the picnic table lovers, in a building that was still standing the last Cy knew anything about it, before he went on to fame and fortune. This, well before the land of the picnic table lovers became a center for railroading, High Speed Service style.
Especially now that it's very likely the Mexicans will own his railroad. His former railroad.
