Ernest F. Coe

In 1997, the 105th Congress declared that Coe was the primary force behind the creation of Everglades National Park, acknowledged that he is considered the "Father of Everglades National Park", and resolved that the visitors' center closest to Homestead be dedicated in his name.

He became involved in the same intellectual and social circles as Charles Torrey Simpson and David Fairchild, who together formed the Florida Society of Natural History.

Coe drafted the proposal for the park and Senator Duncan Fletcher and Congreswoman Ruth Bryan Owen introduced the legislation to create Everglades National Park.
