| Sumario: | From the late eighteenth century to early 1836, the heart of the Florida sugar industry was concentrated in East Florida, between the St. Johns River and the Atlantic Ocean. Producing the sweetest sugar, molasses, and rum, at least 22 sugar plantations dotted the coastline by the 1830s. This industry brought prosperity to the region--employing farm hands, slaves, architects, stone masons, riverboats and their crews, shop keepers, and merchant traders.
