Daniel F. Sullivan, a native of Ireland, moved to Pensacola with his brother Martin after the Civil War. They were very successful in the lumber business, purchasing several mills and wharfs on Pensacola Bay and large areas of timber in other parts of Escambia County. The town of Century was founded around the lumber industry the brothers brought to the area. Sullivan also built the Pensacola Opera House.

The brothers began the First National Bank in 1880.

Sullivan died in 1884 and is buried in St. Michael's Cemetery; the monument to him there is the largest memorial in the cemetery.
