Florida - 50 States - US Geography

Florida has been attracting visitors to its shores since 1513, when Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León discovered this place and named it in honour of Spain’s “pascua florida“ - an Easter festival of flowers. Florida became the 27th state on March 3rd, 1845. Our series of US geography videos “Visit the 50 States,“ gives you a little history and interesting facts about each state. For every state, you’ll learn when it entered the Union, what’s its motto, how did it get its nickname, and see what the flag, seal, and state capitol building all look like. We’ll find the state capital on the map! There’s also fun trivia - do you know the state tree, flower, and bird? Watch and find out!
