'''Burney McIver Henderson''' (d. [[1989]]) was a businessman who acquired vast land holdings in the [[Destin]] area in the 1930s. Many of these beachfront parcels have since been developed. One large tract remained in its natural state and became known as [[Henderson Beach]]. On [[February 2]], [[1983]], Henderson signed over the 208-acre area to the State of Florida for $13.1 million, to be preserved as the [[Henderson Beach State Park]].<ref>"State creates newest park on Okaloosa County tract." ''The Ledger'', February 6, 1983.</ref>
Also in 1983, Henderson was crowned [[De Luna (Fiesta)|De Luna]] in Pensacola's [[Fiesta of Five Flags]] celebration.
