BGHS creates ‘the mother of all timelines’ for island history buffs

BY MARCY SHORTUSE- The Boca Grande Historical Society has done some timelines in the past, but primarily ones put together for specific times or events in history. Now, though, historians can browse what the BGHS has called “the mother of all timelines.”
This timeline begins, quite literally, at the beginning of time for the state of Florida – 40 million years ago – and continues through the years to 2020. 
The last entry, of course, is the COVID-19 situation.
When you go to the timeline there are two options: You can go to the “time jumps,” which are boxes that show the dates “1900,” “1950” or “2000,” or you can start from the very beginning and work your way through the entirety of the timeline.
