  1. So many dates that Florida was first at. I have always had a fondness to history thank you for sharing some important history with me today. I am just wondering how many other places would have roller blade accessibility to the ATM

  2. I had no idea that the first commercial flight originated in Florida. Also, never knew about the invention of the suncream. Very interesting information in your infographic.

  3. Great facts I must say, sounds really interesting although am not much of a beach person.. I do hope to visit Florida some day, and the U.S.A as. Whole. Thanks for sharing

  5. I’ve seen Miami areas in the TV shows, Burn Notice and Dexter, the place looks absolutely beautiful…..especially the beaches. Good to read some historic facts as well. 👍🏼👍🏼

    1. It just as beautiful in person, plus a lot of traffic. Those scenes where there’s no car in site while the bad guy or good guy flies down one of the causeways in the middle of the day? Yeah, never happens, lol.

  6. This is quite informative. I’ve been to Florida just once and it was to Miami Beach. I hope to be able to see and experience
    other parts. It’s amazing how much history and how different parts of the state are. Thanks for the history.
