General Note
Hotel built 1910/11 by land developer Richard J. Bolles to house prospective Everglades land buyers. It later burned in 1929.
The Everglades Drainage District was established in 1913 (Ch. 6456, 1913 Laws) for the purpose of draining and reclaiming lands located near the Everglades for agricultural and sanitary purposes. To carry out this mandate, a system of canals, drains, levees, dikes, dams, locks and reservoirs were constructed.
