Florida's history, even from those early Spanish explorers searching through sweat and swamp for gold or lost youth has been a fabulous tale. At times though, it can feel like we ourselves are trudging through the Florida Everglades trying to find and piece together those precious nuggets of information about Florida's past. While this post may not in itself be a goldmine of information on the history of Florida, it will hopefully serve as a sort of map to guide you to some of the most valuable places to look for Florida's history both online and off. Links to the history of many cities, towns and other places in Florida are listed in alphabetical order along with the counties they're in. You'll also find links to museums and other sites for general information on Florida's past. Also an alphabetized list of Florida's counties and their history is provided separately. The history of Florida has stretched the entire journey of our nation - from savage wilderness to the the space age. It is home to both the rich and the roadside ridiculous packing into Florida's history books a little something for everyone. So if you're ready kids, just climb aboard the tram and let's see what we can learn about Florida's history.
