By 1821, Florida became a US Territory and only a year later, at "Cowford" a portion of the St. Johns River where cows were ferried across, Jacksonville was founded, named for Andrew Jackson. By the mid-1800's, Jacksonville was touted as the winter playground for those in the cold northern portions of the country. They called it the "winter city in summerland." Tourists came from all over to take in the warm sunshine and wonderful climate. In 1901 a terrible fire burned 2,368 buildings in the downtown Jacksonville area.
