History of Tallahassee
History of Tallahassee
- The city of Tallahassee is located in the southeastern United States. It is the capital of the state of Florida and covers an area of approximately 267 km2 with a population of over 186,000 people. The territory of the city is located on the hills.
- On the largest hilltop, the center of Tallahassee is equipped along with the Capitol. Beautiful lakes Jackson and Lafayette are located within the city limits. But its main feature is the national natural park Apalachicola National Forest adjacent to the city.
- It is believed that the city was founded as the first settlement more than 14.5 thousand years ago. This is indicated by the ancient parking of people. It was discovered by archaeologists at the bottom of the Aucilla. In 1513, Spanish ships approached the shores of the future Florida. They gave the name to the state and future cities. 1824 is officially considered the year of foundation of this city. But its name has been known since the 16th century thanks to the local Apache Indian tribe.
The influence on the historical development of the city was largely influenced by the French and the British.
Currently, Tallahassee is an industrialized city. There are 2 major universities and their own hospitals. Its economy consists mainly of trade and services. It gained its greatest development after 1845, when Florida was recognized as the 27th state of the United States, and Tallahassee was its capital.
