As the story goes, Ethan Vernor Blackman was working as a freelance writer in Daytona Beach when he was approached by Henry Flagler to write an article about a new city for a new magazine.
The purpose of the magazine was to attract people to the burgeoning metropolis located in the sub-tropical paradise of southeast Florida. After hiring the freelance writer, Flagler sent Blackman a letter with the blueprint for the city and pictures of the area to acquaint him with what was an unnamed city at the time, nestled between Biscayne Bay and the Miami River.
After completing the article for The Home Seeker, he sent a copy to the Jacksonville Times-Union as a form of early syndication. It did not take long for the nickname to stick. Despite the rustic nature of the area at the time, Blackman believed the Magic City was everything he expected when he reviewed the pictures and blueprint for the city. There were many businesses, from service stations to entertainment venues, that have included the nickname in the description of their organization.
Ethan responded:. People who lived at the time recounted how it was as if a major city had popped up overnight, almost like magic. Photo Credit: Deyson Ortiz from Pixabay.
