Florida is a state
located in the southeastern region of the United
States, bordering Alabama to the northwest and Georgia to the north. It was
the 27th state admitted to the United
States. Much of the land mass of the state is a large peninsula
with the Gulf of Mexico to the west,
and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It is nicknamed the "Sunshine
State" because of its generally warm climate—subtropical in the northern
and central regions of the state, with a true tropical
climate in the southern portion. The state has four large urban
areas, a number of smaller industrial cities, and many small towns. The United States Census Bureau
estimates that the state population was 18,328,340 in 2008, ranking Florida
as the fourth most populous state in the U.S. Tallahassee is the state
capital and Miami
is the largest metro area. Residents of Florida are properly known as "Floridians". |
