Florida City
Among the places of Florida, Florida City stands out as the southern starting point of the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike, the toll route that runs north through Miami-Dade County. The city lies on the mainland beside the Everglades: wetlands in Everglades National Park extend westward, while Biscayne Bay and Biscayne National Park lie to the east. U.S. 1 crosses the area on its way toward the Florida Keys, making Florida City an important road junction in southern Florida. Incorporated in 1914, the city developed beside farming communities; tropical-fruit cultivation and plant nurseries remain established features of the nearby Redland area. The low-rise corridor has a markedly different scale from central Miami.

Florida City straddles the limestone plain between the Everglades and Biscayne Bay in southern Florida, a position that has made it an important mainland junction for travel toward the Florida Keys. Beside Homestead, it is where U.S. Route 1 continues south toward the Overseas Highway and where Florida’s Turnpike reaches its southern end. Everglades National Park’s main Homestead entrance is nearby, linking the city’s wider setting to sawgrass wetlands and mangrove habitats. Hurricane Andrew severely damaged Florida City in 1992, and rebuilding remains an important part of its recent story.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
