Where is Florida, New York?

Which one? Unless you're from New York, you may never have heard of any other place called Florida but the one attempting to dodge the hurricanes each year, but with hurricanes and other geographically challenged natural disasters wandering off course of late, those New Yorkers living in the Town of Florida or the Village of Florida, NY may be seriously rethinking the whole Florida theme. For a closer look at just where these two Floridas in New York are, let's go to the map.

Florida, New York

Like Florahome, FL - both places are a fair distance from the coast and should not get the brunt of any storm making landfall in the area, but even inland, it's always best to be prepared. The following map is of the Warwick, NY Village of Florida (upper left-hand corner) located in Orange County, NY and though close enough to the Big Apple to enjoy, it's still far enough away to go back home and pick one.

Florida, New York in Orange County

Just up the road from Schenectady, the New York 'Town of Florida' in Montgomery County is even further inland and also like Florahome, may have a bit more in common with the agricultural part of the state than the city or the coast. By the way, if any of you guys up that way happen to read this, send us a postcard or photo - the one at the top of this post isn't fooling anybody.

The New Bulletin Board in Florahome, Florida

If you haven't checked out the Florahome, Florida Bulletin Board page on Florahome USA you may not only be missing out on what's going on in the area, but also the opportunity to advertise your yard sale, church event or practically anything else you'd like others to know about quickly and easily. While not meant to replace a good old tried and true sign like the ones at the corner of FL State Road 100 and Coral Farms Road, those signs are unfortunately not always easy to read. By also posting your message on the Florahome USA Bulletin Board, that message can be easily accessed and even added to with more details or photos making whatever you want to say crystal clear. You will also be able to reach not only Florahome, but Interlachen, Melrose, Palatka, the rest of Putnam County, Keystone Heights in Clay County, other communities in Florida and even beyond. The Bulletin Board page can also be used to alert the community about a lost dog, a lost cat or even a missing child. If you have a house to rent or need a place to advertise your skills or small business, Florahome USA has both the Bulletin Board page and a Business page. The ways the Bulletin Board page can be used are many and are currently available free of charge to all Florahome USA visitors in Florida and elsewhere. With your continued support and contributions it can stay that way. If you have already visited Florahome USA's Bulletin Board page and agree that it's a worthwhile contribution to the Florahome community, please let others know (this effort cannot work without your help). Once again, thanks to all who have visited the Bulletin Board page and other pages on Florahome USA in Florahome, Florida.
