When the building OF the Panama
canal became an assured fact, railroad
promoters projected many lines of
railroads to points on the Gulf coast,
where it was thought deep water ports
could be established, but the Apalachi-

River Junction on the north, where it
connects with the Seaboard Air Line,
Louisville and Nashville, and Atlantic

Thriving City Being Built
Up on the Shores of
St. Joe Harbor.
Thousands of Acres of Vir-
gin Soil Now Opened
for Settlement.

From the earliest times the impor-
lance of Port St Joe has been recog-
nized and its magnificent deep water
harbor, offeripG unusual shipping
facilities. has been the center of num-
erous plans for development. Sixty or
seventy years ago st. Joe was the
terminus Of one of the first railroads
built in the southern states and at
that time was an important port or
entry. Later the business of the port
gradually declined, the people moved
away and the rails were taken up for
use elsewhere. All that remains of old
St Joe today is the old roadbed, which
may be seen here and there, and, off
to one side of the present city, few
ancient ruins. But there is no con-
nection with the ST. Joe of the past
and the Port St. Joe Of today; the
former is interesting only from a his
torical standpoint, while the Port st.
Joe of today is a thriving, prosperous
little city that has a great future in
store and it's citizens are working
along the most modern lines with a
view to development.
St. Joe of Today
The first train on the Apala chicola
Northern r. r. entered Port ST Joe
during May, 1907, and the history of
the new town, may be said to date
from that time. Previous to the COM
p1etion of the line the town had been
surveyed ana, as uSual unueT SuCn
Conditions there was considerable
speculation in town property Predic-
tons were freely made that Port St.
Joe was the coming city of West
Florida and prices scared accordingly.
The railroad company. owner of prac-
tically all the land in the vicinity of
the town, discouraged speculation and
the efforts Of it's officers were direct
cd toward solid, substantial develop
ment along all lines. AS a result of
this policy ST. Joe is today a steadily
growing town, peopled with enterpris
ing though conservative citizens who,
while fully approaching the advan-
tages of the location and surrounding
country are content to await the
prominence that will come with in
telligent development OF natural re-
sources.
Deep Water Port.
The population of Port st. Joe is
approximately 500 and a large part
are employed by the railroad company,
In the big mill or in connection with
the shipping. The fish and oyster
business of Port st. Joe is important
and rapidly growing. There is 81 feet
of water on the bar at the entrance
to the harbor and the same depth of
