Interesting fact: Yulee is named after David Levy Yulee (1810-1886). Yulee was the first Jew to be elected US Senator. He supported slavery and Florida’s secession from the Union. He was imprisoned for treason against the United States during the Civil War. During Reconstruction, he became one of the most significant businessmen in the development of Florida’s railroads. #history #florida #jewishhistory #ushistory #americanhistory #floridahistory
