Jacksonville was officially founded in June 1822. We know – we look good for 200. From the city’s start in agriculture and farming; to the introduction of the railroad, vacation resorts and military bases; to the Great Fire, movie studios, Civil Rights movement and southern rock music, Jacksonville is rich with history. Explore it in the pages linked below and plan a visit to see for yourself.
