Description
"Isaiah D. Hart, a prominent settler of Cow Ford, convinced his fellow landowners to donate land along the north bank to establish a town.
In 1822, a twenty-block area bound by Catherine, Duval and Ocean Streets became the town by the river. Many Floridians viewed Andrew Jackson as a hero for his invasion of Spanish Florida and decided to name the town Jacksonville. By 1830, Jacksonville had expanded to nearly 100 residents. Two years later, it elected its first Mayor, William J. Mills. Jacksonville swelled to a population of 750 by 1847, when Florida became the 27th state." (downtownjacksonville)
