Monticello

Monticello combines a compact county-seat center with the rolling uplands of north Florida, reflecting its position near the Georgia state line. Unlike much of Florida’s low, flat peninsula, this section of the Panhandle belongs to the Red Hills, a region of clay soils, wooded slopes and farmland. Monticello is the seat of Jefferson County, and its downtown contains a notable concentration of historic buildings. The Jefferson County Courthouse, completed in 1909, remains a focal point, while the Monticello Opera House continues the town’s performing-arts tradition.
