JACKSONVILLE
INFORMATION |
 |
Located along the St. Johns River,
Jacksonville was found in 1822. Named after the seventh President of
the United States, Andrew Jackson, Jacksonville is the largest city
in the State of Florida. The city has the largest deepwater port in
the south as many goods are shipped from here each year. Financing,
biomedical technology, consumer goods and manufacturing are the main
areas of employment. Several companies including the CSX Corporation
and the Mayo Clinic are headquartered in Jacksonville. Although the
city has a large population, it has only one professional team, the
NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars, who play at Jacksonville Municipal
Stadium. Several other minor league teams from all sports call the
city home.
