Understand
The founding of what is now Jacksonville Beach took place in the 1880s in the lead-up to the tourist boom Florida would experience going into the 20th century. Permanent settlement began around 1885 and a highway was begun in 1892. A railway was built in the area around the time of the Spanish-American War, during which William J. Bryan used the beach for training of Nebraska's Third Regiment. The town was known as Pablo Beach from incorporation in 1907 until 1925, when it became Jacksonville Beach.
