Florida Information
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.[6][7] Tallahassee
is the state capital and Miami is the largest metro area. Residents of
Florida are properly known as "Floridians".
