Florida
More than 480 miles at its longest and 360 at its widest, Florida's sheer dimension underlies a diversity that stretches from Deep South to tropical in temperament. While most people think beaches and Disney World, Florida yields a much wider scope of environmental, cultural, and historical heritage.
During their early explorations of North America, Europeans stopped first in Florida. Florida's natives defeated this and other attempts by de Leon to colonize their homeland. Northern Florida safeguards the state's earliest history. St. Augustine and the northeast coast have preserved fledgling Florida architecture, from the 16th century through the Civil War and Gilded Age. St. Augustine served as the capital of East Florida under British rule, while westernmost Pensacola became the headquarters for West Florida. Sugar planters, Crackers, and Seminole Indians descended from the north. With the Civil War, even more soldiers descended upon Florida. Northern Florida saw the most action during the latter. In the south, enterprising types made profits by selling Florida farm goods to the enemy.
Moving south, Florida's mid-section remembers a different era in Florida bygones, a time of steamboats, railroads, tourism, and a major mouse. Tourists were first attracted to Central Florida's incredible spring lands and lakes. The popularization of the automobile along with improved Florida car transport system has opened up south Florida's balmy paradise to the masses.
