More Information About Florida
Florida, nicknamed "The Sunshine State," means "land of flowers" in Spanish, due to its naming by explorer Ponce de Len, who landed there in the spring when all the flowers were in bloom. It borders the Gulf of Mexico to the west, with Alabama and Georgia to the north. It is also bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Straits of Florida and Cuba to the south. Florida has the longest coastline in the contiguous U.S., with approximately 1,350 miles of coastline. Most of Florida is at or below sea level. It is the third most populated state and is 23rd in size at 59,988 square miles. Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the contiguous U.S., but Miami is the most populated urban area in Florida. Other large cities include Tampa and Orlando; Tallahassee is the state capital.
Florida's climate throughout the state is generally warm, temperate, and tropical, due to its proximity to the warm ocean, though some areas can get a little cooler in the winter. This makes it a prime destination for tourists and even a second home for retirees from the Midwest and other areas with harsher winters.
Not surprisingly, tourism is an essential part of the economy. Many beach towns are vacation destinations, as are amusement parks, such as Walt Disney World in the Orlando area. Disney World alone attracts more than 50 million annual visitors, and there are other major theme parks in the area, such as Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and Busch Gardens. Agriculture is another industry which contributes to the economy, second after tourism. Products are citrus fruits, sugarcane, strawberries, tomatoes, celery, sweet corn, and green beans. Florida produces most of the citrus products in the U.S. Commercial and recreational fishing also contribute much to the state's economy. Other industries in the state are construction, international banking, biomedical and life sciences, healthcare research, aerospace and defense, and commercial space travel. Florida is the leading state for sales of power boats.
