The state of Florida entered the Union 27th in a row, having acquired this status in early March 1845. The population is very large, but it can not boast of vast territories – the area is 170,304 km2 (22nd place). The state capital is Tallahassee. The largest cities are Jacksonville (ranked first), Miami, Orlando, and others. For the first time, a European foot entered these lands in 1513. Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon declared the territory a possession of Spain.
In the jurisdiction of Spain, Florida remained until the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty of 1763: under its terms, these lands passed to England in exchange for Havana. However, a few years later, the region again passed into the hands of the Spanish, who sold it to the United States in 1819.

The special geographical location of Florida determines its climate. It is mainly humid tropical, in some places, it turns into tropical, in some places-into oceanic, in some places-into monsoon. The peninsula is warm at any time of the year, which is why the state of Florida is popular not only in summer but also as a winter resort. The average temperature in July is 26-28°C (maximum rises to 38°C), in January-12-20°C.
