Jacksonville at a Glance
Known asThe largest city by area in the Lower 48 — miles of uncrowded Atlantic beaches, the St. Johns River and a laid-back Florida few tourists know
Founded1832
CurrencyUS Dollar (USD)
Local pride: Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States — bigger than Rhode Island — thanks to a 1968 city-county merger. In the 1910s it was briefly "the Winter Film Capital of the World," home to dozens of movie studios before the industry decamped to a sunnier, more reliable Hollywood.
