Burleson, Carl E.
Carl E. Burleson (c. 1889 - 1961) was a civil engineer who served as the county engineer of Pinellas County, Florida during the 1920s Florida Land Boom. He is credited with designing many of the bridges constructed in the county during that decade. Burleson was born in North Carolina in 1889, raised in Tennessee, and first came to Florida in the early 20th century, settling in Pensacola. In the late 1910s, he moved to St. Petersburg and served as the county engineer for 22 years. Then, in the early-mid 1930s, he relocated to Jacksonville, before moving again to Volusia County in the mid-1940s, working for the State Road Department throughout as a maintenance engineer. His son Gordon followed in his footsteps and served as the director of engineering for the City of Orlando. Carl Burleson was one of the first registered engineers in Florida and a leader in the Florida Engineering Society and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
