Called the "Sunshine State," Florida is known for its balmy, sunny
weather and beautiful beaches. Ponce de Leon, in search of the elusive
fountain of youth, was the first European to explore Florida. St.
Augustine, founded by the Spanish in 1565, is the oldest permanent
European settlement in the continental United States. Statehood for
Florida came in 1845. Florida's state flower is the orange blossom,
which is particularly fitting because oranges are a main export of the
state. Because of its shape and location, a long peninsula between the
Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, Florida attracts millions of
visitors each year to its many seaside resort areas. Its capital is
Tallahassee.
