Carl G. Fisher was an American entrepreneur. An automotive enthusiast, he conceived and helped develop the Lincoln Highway, the first road for the automobile across the entire United States of America. Following on the success of his east-west Lincoln Highway, Fisher initiated efforts on the north-south Dixie Highway in 1914, which led from Michigan to Miami. Fisher was one of the first developers of Miami Beach and Fisher Island, which built his fortune to $100M by 1926, later developing Montauk, billing it as "a Miami Beach of the North", with this as his personal home. Fisher lost his fortune in the Stock Market Crash of 1929.
