April 20, 2005 (Press Release) --
Priyanshu A Adathakkar, is the Webmaster of the website and member of the Steering Committee. He spent over 2 years researching the history of the area. According to Mr. Adathakkar it is a misconception that the history of the area began in the 1870’s when a Massachusetts doctor, named William C. Cutler, first visited the area and fell in love with it.
The history of the area dates back to when Dr. Henry Perrine formed The Tropical Plant Company of Florida with Judge James Webb of Key West and Charles Howe, postmaster of Indian Key. In 1838, the Legislative Council of the Territory of Florida granted land to the Tropical Plant Company of Florida.
The website, which is an ongoing project has many interesting stories from the areas past. The information on the website is harvested mostly from the administrative and financial records of the Model Land Company's Miami-based land agent, Frederick S. Morse, and those agencies that followed Morse. Model Land Company was the primary land holding company in the Flagler System.
The website features recent history too including Incorporation Timeline and essays from a contest for area students to propose a name for the new municipality. Registered members can post comments to the stories on the website and there is a forum where community members can share Personal and Family stories from the past.
