History

By 1885, the South Florida Railroad had extended its tracks again to Tampa, Florida The Panic of 1893 was the worst depression (economics) the US had experienced, crushing land speculation and unsound debt. Disston had contracted with the financially wobbly state of Florida to drain its southern lands, for which he would own half of all he successfully drained. But the heyday of Kissimmee was short lived. The Kissimmee shipyard was responsible for building most of these steamships, which were just one jump ahead of civilization -- with Kissimmee as the jumping off point. Its growth can be credited to Hamilton Disston of Philadelphia, who based his two-million acre (8,000 km²) drainage operation out of the small town.
