Discover Moore Haven
Moore Haven, the seat of Glades County, is named for its founder, James A. Moore of Seattle, who lived from 1861 to 1929 and began platting the town as soon as he arrived in 1915. It grew so fast that it was incorporated in 1917 and was often called "Little Chicago," both as a boomtown and for its site where Lake Okeechobee meets the Caloosahatchee River canal, much as the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan.
More about Moore Haven
In 1917 Marian Newhall Horwitz was elected mayor, the first woman mayor in Florida and the first south of the Mason-Dixon line. The Moore Haven Times described her on July 27, 1917, as "business from head to foot," riding horseback to work at 5:15 a.m. She resigned on June 22, 1918, to manage the DeSoto Land Company after her husband, John J. O'Brien, left to serve in World War I. A marker in town recalls the "Lone Cypress" and the draining of the Everglades. Sources Wikipedia: Moore Haven, Florida
