Why did Henry Flagler first move to Florida?

Explanation:

Flagler wanted to trade with Cuba and Latin America as well as take advantage of increased trade with the west using the Panama Canal. Almost 4,000 men built the railroad bridge in seven years. They had to contend with mosquitoes, sand flies, and hurricanes. Hundreds of workers died in the storms.

In order to attract workers, Flagler offered them free rail transportation to Florida. Many left the train in mid-state to work on farms and in groves. Flagler lived to see the Key West railroad open in 1912.
