WHERE DID THE NAME EVERGLADES COME FROM?

How did the Everglades get it's name? The evergladeslady has read two stories from the history books. Both stories credit the English map makers.....The first story said, as the English map makers were marching around mapping south Florida, in what is now known as the Everglades area, they said this is" forever glades" (glade means a grassy open place in a forest). So eventually, folks dropped the "for" and kept Ever Glades. The second story in the history books still credits the English map makers; and, says, it was a typo. On the original maps made of the area now known as the Everglades, the name was "River Glade", but through some typographical error it became "Everglades"
