41. About The USA - Travel & Geography > Florida
    florida, the Sunshine State Abbreviation FL. florida was named by the Spanishexplorer Juan Ponce de León in 1513. 1845 wurde florida der 27. Bundesstaat.  
    http://www.usembassy.de/usa/florida.htm
    
    Extractions: Abbreviation: FL Florida was named by the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León in 1513. He called the region "La Florida", roughly translated as Land of the Flowers. He probably chose this name because he was impressed by the many colorful flowers and because he sighted it on Easter, which is called "Pascua Florida" in Spanish. Ponce de Leon, in search of the elusive fountain of youth, was the first European to explore Florida. Statehood for Florida came in 1845 (27th state). St. Augustine, founded by the Spanish in 1565, is the oldest permanent European settlement in the continental United States. Florida is one of the leading tourist states in the United States. Great stretches of sandy beaches and a warm, sunny climate make Florida a year-round vacationland. People enjoy swimming, fishing and water skiing in the inland and coastal waters. Major attractions include Disney World, Miami Beach, the Everglades National Park and the Florida Keys. Tourists may also visit historic sites that date back to the Spanish explorers.

The NW of Florida is a gently rolling panhandle area, cut into by deep swamps along the Gulf coast. The St. Marys River in the northeast and the Perdido River in the northwest form part of the boundary with Georgia and Alabama. Much of the east coast is shielded from the Atlantic Ocean by narrow sandbars and barrier islands that protect the shallow lagoons, rivers, and bays. Immediately inland, pine and palmetto flatlands stretch from the Georgia border almost to the southern tip of the state. Central Florida abounds in lakes, with Lake Okeechobee being the largest. The

    Extractions: Florida Keys Location and Geography The name Florida Keys is restricted to the chain of about 60 Keys that extends from Miami Beach. The Florida Keys also have a coral reef. The western Keys are made of limestone. The growth that rises on higher ground is composed of tropical hardwoods and palm trees. The largest Key is Key Largo. It's about 30 miles long and less than 2 miles wide. Key West spreads over a small island about 3 1/2 miles long and 1 mile wide. It lies some 100 miles southwest of the mainland. It has sunny year-round warmth and it's shores are bathed by warm Gulf Stream water and the trade winds bring mild breezes. The offshore reefs still hold the sunken wrecks of ships long ago. Key West with about 18,000 people, was Florida's largest city in the 1890's. Today the population is about 24,832. In 1912, a railroad was built along the keys. Also, Key West became a very important port for trade with the Caribbean Islands. The railway was abandoned after a hurricane in 1935 destroyed many of the bridges between the islands. Since 1938, the US Highway 1 has linked Key West to Miami, 155 miles away. Many tourists use the "seagoing highway" to the island city. Hotels, motels, and other tourist facilities have been built for use. An aqueduct, about 130 miles long, was built by the federal government to supply badly needed fresh water to the islands.

    http://www.usatourist.com/english/places/florida/climate.html
    
    Extractions: Florida has a semi-tropical climate. It becomes oppressively hot and humid during the months of June through August. Expect temperatures to exceed 90 degrees F (32 C) and humidity to hover near 100 percent. The most pleasant weather is usually found during winter months between December and March when temperatures are more likely around 75 degrees (25 C) and the humidity becomes bearable. It rains nearly every day in most months (perhaps less during the winter), but the showers are generally short and the sun usually quickly reappears. Hurricane season lasts from August through late October. During these months, fierce tropical storms can bring dangerously high winds and inundating rainfalls. Florida is the sunshine state and also the Thunderstorm and Lightning State. Due to the abundance of warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and the hot tropical sun, conditions are perfect for the formation of thunderstorms. Every year, many injuries and fatalities are caused by lightning strikes on Florida golf courses and beaches. Nature has not endowed Florida with many mountains, rolling hills or panoramic vistas, as its terrain is rather flat. But it has gorgeous white sand beaches and blue lagoons lined with palm trees and tropical flora.
