FLORIDA
Tallahassee Capital • Leon County
“In God We Trust” • “The Sunshine State”
Statehood (27th) on March 3, 1845
Various Native American groups have inhabited Florida for at least 14,000 years. On April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León became the first known European to make landfall, calling the region La Florida for its lush greenery and because it was the Easter season, which the Spaniards called Pascua Florida (Festival of Flowers).
Florida subsequently became the first area in the continental U.S. to be permanently settled by Europeans, with the Spanish colony of St. Augustine, founded in 1565 under the leadership of admiral and governor Pedro Menéndez de Avilés. The city became the oldest continuously inhabited U.S. city.
Florida’s state capital is Tallahassee and the most populous city is Jacksonville. The Miami metropolitan area, with a population of almost 6.2 million, is the most populous urban area in Florida; other urban conurbations with over one million people are Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Jacksonville.
Florida is world-renowned for its local beach resorts, amusement parks, warm and sunny climate, and nautical recreation; attractions such as Walt Disney World, the Kennedy Space Center, and Miami Beach draw tens of millions of visitors annually.
Florida, with its tourism, hospitality, agriculture, real estate, and good transportation, has evolved into a cosmopolitan ambiance of its own, demonstrating a robust and growing demographic and cultural diversity with respect to metrics including nationality, religion, race, and domiciliary partnership.
The State of Florida’s local residents, business, and neighborhoods embraces cultural equality, diversity, inclusion, equity, unity and has many positive-minded and inspiring people as well as historic business-friendly communities.
The state of Florida encourages its local residents to become inventors and creators of startups in retail, music, beauty, healthcare, legal services and tourism. Florida’s economic growth and prosperity in these areas has had a unifying effect on local city residents and local businesses.
