History
FPL's earliest roots can be traced back
to Thomas Edison and the General Electric Co. GE created EBASCO
(Electric Bond and Share Co.), owner of American Power &
Light Co. that held many utilities in the western hemisphere.
American Power & Light purchased the
properties that were consolidated to form FPL on Dec. 28, 1925.
The unlikely patchwork of enterprises included small electric
generating plants, ice plants, water, gas, fish, telephone, sawmill
and street car companies, a steam laundry, an ice factory, a
limestone quarry, a sponge fishing boat and even 35 mules and
wagons.
