How did Alligator Alley get it's name? Rumor
has it, that it was coined by the Automobile
Association of America, when advising their
members on what south Florida roads to use,
their reply for that road was...."oh you don't
want to drive on that, it's just an Alligator
Alley" well thank you AAA; that road is world
famous now, due to; that name. Now day's;
It's the part of Interstate 75 system. Originally
a hundred mile long, two lane road, that ran
right through the heart of the Everglades,
connecting the east coast of Florida to the
west coast; it was completed in the late
1960's. Then, in the 1980's it was four laned
and became part of the Interstate 75 system.
It's real name is Everglades Parkway.
