History
Flagler County was formed in 1917 . It was named after Henry Morrison Fledger , the railroad tycoon who built the East Florida Railway .
In 1974, the amusement park Marco Polo opened in the area, but due to its loss-making it was soon closed.
In 1998, due to the threat of steppe fires, a mandatory evacuation was announced throughout the district. This was the first and still the only case in Florida when an entire county was evacuated. [3]
