Biographical History
The Canal Authority of the State of Florida was created by the Legislature in 1933 (Ch. 16176, Laws). Its purpose was to acquire the land and equipment necessary to build and operate a shipping canal across the peninsula of Florida. A connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico had long been a goal of Florida's industrial and agricultural interests. Work was begun on the canal as a feature of New Deal programs in Florida. The Canal Authority of the State of Florida was transferred to the Dept. of Natural Resources in 1969 (Ch. 69-106, Laws).
