History

By the 1950s and 1960s, the cultivation of citrus, vegetables and cattle were also important to the economy. On November 11, the plan was scaled back to $1.34 billion for 181,000 acres (73,250 hectares) of arable land no longer including the mill, citrus processing facilities and other assets. US Sugar Corporation, however, remained the dominant manufacturer in Clewiston, which became known as "America's Sweetest Town." On June 24, 2008, Governor Charlie Crist announced that the State of Florida had arranged to buy for $1.75 billion the company's 187,000 acres (75,680 hectares), including the sugar refinery in Clewiston. It would then be converted into reservoirs and water-filtering areas as part of the ongoing restoration of the Everglades ecosystem. Large sugar plantations were established around Lake Okeechobee.
