Henry Flagler
Henry Flagler was a prominent American industrialist and a key figure in the development of Florida's east coast. As a co-founder of the Standard Oil Company alongside John D. Rockefeller, Flagler amassed significant wealth, which he used to transform Florida into a major tourist destination. His vision led to the construction of luxury hotels, including The Breakers in Palm Beach, and the extension of railway lines into the region, significantly contributing to the Gilded Age's expansion and the establishment of the state's tourism industry.
