A report by Pamela Brown for the University of Florida’s Soil and Water Department notes:
<div class="indenttextblock">
"A Cincinnati mail-order company,the Saint Andrew Bay Railroad, Lands, and Mining Co., bought property in the Saint Andrew Bay area, and started nationally advertising 25 feet x 82 feet lots for $1.25. The advertisement attracted a lot of people and started a settlement boom as over 300,000 lots were sold. As the price for lots increased to $8.00, the company went bust." <a href="https://soils.ifas.ufl.edu/media/soilsifasufledu/sws-main-site/pdf/technical-papers/Brown--Pamela-Sue.pdf" target="_blank">Online, p. 46)</a>
