Hart Bridge, Jacksonville, Florida Stock Photography

Our green bridge was opened in 1967 and is named after the city founder, Isaiah Hart. When Isaiah Hart came to the area, he traded $72 worth of cattle for 18 acres of land. He laid out the streets in a grid format and called his new city Jacksonville. His house was on the SW corner of Market and Bay Streets. The annual Gate River Run, the largest 15K race in the county, concludes as runners cross the Hart Bridge to enter the stadium area.
