Metro Jacksonville takes a stroll through St. Johns Park.
Roosevelt/CSX A-Line Corridor
The CSX A-Line was built by the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West Railway during the early 1880s. It was acquired by Henry Plant in 1899 and the Plant System was taken over by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1902. During the mid-20th century, Roosevelt Boulevard was built adjacent to the railroad, stimulating autocentric commercial development through St. Johns Park.

The west side of St. Johns Park remained sparesly developed prior to World War II. It remained outside of Jacksonville's city limits until the city's consolidation with Duval County in 1968.
