HOW DID ALLIGATOR ALLEY GET IT'S NAME?

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.
