General
The state of Florida is situated on the east coast of the United States. First sighted and explored by Juan Ponce de León in 1513, this 450 mile peninsula is surrounded by the warm, clear waters which encompass the south-eastern corner of the United States. As a result of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, Florida was brought under British control. The state then came under Spanish control who in turn returned it to the UNITED STATES in 1821.
This tourist magnet is known the world over as a land of sun, perfect beaches, orange groves, Disney, NASA and the space centre at Cape Canaveral. In addition, Florida is the world's most popular retirement destination and contains the electric city of Miami, Key West, Florida Keys, the Everglades and so much more.
