HISTORY
CULTURE
DAVID LEVY YULEE
The gentleman outside the Welcome Center is David Levy Yulee,
who played a vital role in the story of nineteenth century Florida
and Amelia Island. Yulee helped write the original Florida State
Constitution and became the first Jewish Senator appointed to the
United States Congress.
In 1853, Yulee chose Fernandina Beach's harbor as the beginning
point of the first trans-peninsular railroad in Florida, allowing trade
to reach the Gulf of Mexico and creating a worldwide network. In
March of 1861, the first train arrived in Cedar Key. Following the
Confederate surrender, Yulee was imprisoned at Fort Pulaski but
released 10 months later thanks to the intercession of General Ulysses
S. Grant. Yulee died in 1886. In 2000, the State of Florida designated
Yulee a Great Floridian.
The sculpture of Yulee outside the Welcome Center is a work by Susan
Leury, whose pieces include the "Babe's Dream" statue at Oriole Park
at Camden Yard in Baltimore and "Promethean Radiation," which
was presented to Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer upon their
marriage. When you visit, take a seat beside Mr. Yulee (and possibly
a photo), and see if you can discover the map he devised to lay out the
City of Fernandina Beach as it is today. For more about his story visit
