| From seashore to forest, nurtured
by the majestic St. Johns River, Jacksonville offers
wonderful opportunities for visitor and resident
alike. Located in Northeast Florida at the crossroads
of two interstate highways, Jacksonville is the
largest city in the contiguous United States in
land area, a major port, and the insurance and financial
center of the state. Located in Duval County, Jacksonville
had a population of 777,704 as of 2004 and a total
area of 874 square miles. Jacksonville was originally
named Cowford because the St. Johns River is narrow
there, allowing cattlemen to ford (herd cows across
the river). The city was renamed in 1822 for the
first territorial governor of Florida and the future
7th U.S. President, Andrew Jackson.
Jacksonville is a friendly and comfortable place
- a coastal community of neighborhoods as unique
as the people who live in them. From luxury condo
high-rises, to grand historic homes, to custom-built
new communities in every style imaginable, there
is a place for you to feel at home. Outdoor activities
abound, with 68 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline,
300 miles of river and every imaginable topography
in-between. Add to that a year-round fantastic
climate and low cost of living - Jacksonville
is the most affordable city in Florida - and there’s
no wonder why this region keeps growing.
