Jacksonville
Jacksonville has served as a river port in northeast Florida since the 19th century. Set on the broad St. Johns River, the city developed around a crossing and landing known as Cowford before being incorporated in 1832 and named for Andrew Jackson. Its vast municipal area extends from the riverfront downtown to suburban and wooded western districts, where Interstate 10 forms part of a major east–west transport network. The St. Johns remains central to Jacksonville’s identity, supporting port activity and linking the urban centre with the Atlantic near Mayport. Cultural landmarks include the Museum of Science & History, while the annual Jacksonville Jazz Festival and the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium add to the city’s public life.

Jacksonville occupies the broad lower St. Johns River corridor in northeastern Florida. The river runs through the city before turning north toward the Atlantic, shaping a downtown of bridges, riverfront promenades and large-scale civic spaces. Jacksonville’s 1968 consolidation with Duval County created one of the most extensive municipal areas in the United States, giving the city an unusually varied mix of urban districts, marshy waterways and Atlantic beaches. Downtown’s Florida Theatre, opened in 1927, remains a prominent venue for concerts and stage performances, while the annual Jacksonville Jazz Festival brings music to the riverfront.

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.
