A Short Port History
The port has a long and well-respected history dating back to the late 1700s. At that time, the port was the closest “East Coast free port” in the United States, a status it earned after the closing of numerous American ports to foreign shipping as a provision of the Jefferson Embargo Act. The port grew in stature after the opening of the Florida cross-state railroad in the 1850s, which connected the port on the Atlantic Coast to the Gulf Coast. As a result, the port became the second busiest in the U.S.
Today, the port continues its legacy of expert service and experienced handling of a variety of cargoes. Those include steel, aluminum, machinery, paper and forest products, and consumer goods.
