After accumulating a great fortune through a partnership with John D. Rockefeller in Standard Oil, today EXXON, Henry Morrison Flagler turned his attention to Florida in 1883. Impressed with the mild winter climate, he began the construction of the first hotel St Augustine and continues south to Palm Beach.
