The capital of Florida is Tallahassee, a city deeply rooted in history and political significance. It serves as the county seat of Leon County and stands as the largest city in the Florida Panhandle. With a population of approximately 193,500, Tallahassee is the seventh-largest city in Florida and 126th in the United States. Despite not being as populous as Miami or Orlando, Tallahassee plays a crucial role as Florida’s political hub, housing the state government, the Florida Supreme Court, and the Governor’s Mansion. It is also home to two major universities—Florida State University and Florida A&M University—making it a prominent college town with a student population of nearly 70,000.

Beyond its governmental and educational significance, Tallahassee is a center for legal and lobbying firms, professional associations, and state agencies. In recognition of its civic engagement, the National Civic League awarded Tallahassee the All-American City Award in 2015. However, long before it became Florida’s political heart, Tallahassee was home to indigenous cultures that shaped its landscape and history.
