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.

Amazing guy who barely finished grade school! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Flagler

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.
