As early as 1840, Bagdad was a thriving port producing and shipping more yellow pine lumber than any port in the world. By 1900, Bagdad Village had become one of the most industrialized areas in the State of Florida. Life in Bagdad centered around the saw mill and logging industries pioneered by Joseph Forsyth and partners. Many of the homes along Bagdad's main street are lovely old Victorian homes as befitting the wealth of the town in the late 19th century from the lumber industry.
