Thread: Port Everglades: History

For our history buffs:

Foiund a nice little piece about the history of Port Everglades on the port's website.

Here's how it starts off:

Visionaries of the late 1800s and early 1900s sowed the seeds for what would some day develop into one of the nation's most vital centers of trade and tourism.
Efforts for port development focused around a shallow lake that was separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a low sand ridge. This body of water, known as Lake Mabel or Bay Mabel, was soon called Bay Mabel Harbor.
