About This Item

Florida State Seal

Capital: Tallahassee

Organized as territory: March 30, 1821

Entered Union: March 3, 1845 (27)

Present constitution adopted: 1969

Motto: In God we trust (1868)

Nickname: Sunshine State (1970)

Origin of name: From the Spanish Pascua Florida, meaning “feast of flowers” (Easter)

In 1513, Ponce de León, seeking the mythical “Fountain of Youth,” discovered and named Florida, claiming it for Spain. Later, Florida would be held at different times by Spain and England until Spain finally sold it to the United States in 1819. (Incidentally, France established a colony named Fort Caroline in 1564 in the state that was to become Florida.)

Florida's history in the early 19th century was marked by wars with the Seminole Indians, which did not end until 1842.

I might be headed to Florida at the end of the month, so this may move with me for a few weeks. Otherwise, I will try to get it to someone headed south.
