The Lake Wimico and St. Joseph Canal Railroad was the first steam powered railroad in Florida and one of the first in the United States. Work began in 1835 leading to the railroads opening in March of 1836. With the collapse of the town of St. Joseph due to the Yellow fever epidemic, the railroad was later abandoned by 1842.
