The Florida Inland Navigation District was created by the Florida Legislature at its Session in 1927, by Chapter 12026, currently operating under Chapter 374. This Act authorized
the Navigation District to purchase the existing East Coast Line Canal that runs from Jacksonville to Miami.
The Navigation District consists of the eleven counties along the east coast of Florida from Nassau to Miami-Dade, both inclusive. However, an
important link of the Intracoastal Waterway in Florida is that from the St. Marys River on the Georgia-Florida line to the St. Johns River in
Duval County, and traversing Nassau County.
The principal function of the Navigation District has been to furnish to the United States that necessary cooperation which the United States
requires as a condition precedent to its improvement of the waterway. A partnership exists between the United States and the State of Florida,
acting by and through the Navigation District whereby the United States agrees to construct and maintain the Intracoastal Waterway and the
Navigation District agrees to furnish to it, free of cost, the necessary rights-of-way and areas for the deposit of dredged material in
connection with the subsequent maintenance of the canal.
