Osprey
Osprey has served as a small Gulf Coast settlement in southwest Florida since the late 19th century. The community lies between Sarasota Bay and the inland wetlands and pine flatwoods of Sarasota County. U.S. 41, the Tamiami Trail, is its principal north–south corridor, linking the Sarasota area with Venice and communities farther south. Osprey is also home to the Historic Spanish Point campus of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, where archaeological sites and preserved pioneer-era buildings trace long human use of this coast. Nearby Oscar Scherer State Park protects scrub, pine flatwoods and freshwater habitats, giving this developed roadside community a distinctly Gulf Coast setting.

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.
