The Yulee sugar mill was built by David Levy Yulee. By 1851, the sugar mill had 1,000 workers. For the next ten years, the mill prospered. During the Civil War the mill supplied the Confederate troops. Yulee's home was burned by Union troops and Yulee himself was briefly imprisoned. Yulee was released by Ulysses Grant to return to his railroad business, but the sugar mill never resumed operation after the War.
