North Florida
Jacksonville's general area
North Florida is the northern region of the U.S. state of Florida, culturally and geographically distinct from the peninsula's subtropical south.
The area shares more with the Deep South—pine forests, Baptist churches, and Southern accents—than with Miami or Orlando.
Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Tallahassee anchor the region.
She grew up in North Florida, closer to Georgia than the beaches tourists imagine.
