Florida's repopulation was 17,800,000. The lowest temperature on record was minus 2 degrees and the highest is 108 F. Millions of people visit Florida every year for its major theme parks and many other appealing attractions. Ponce de Leon found Florida in 1513 while he was searching for the Fountain of Youth. Many current residents lay claim to the fact that they have found the fountain of youth, too, because of Florida's wonderful sunny climate! Both England and Spain held Florida at one time or another, but Spain made a deal with the U.S. and sold it to them in 1819. France had established a colony in the Florida area and called it Fort Caroline. There were a few wars earlier in the 1800s with the Seminole Native Americans, and they ended in 1842. The economy of Florida depends on agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism. Grapefruit and oranges and other citrus fruits lead production in agriculture, while publishing and printing, electronics, machinery and food processing head up manufacturing. Also important to agriculture are melons, potatoes, sugar cane, strawberries, dairy products, peanuts and cattle. Of the many large tourist attractions in Florida, Disneyworld is probably the best known -- and it has 4 theme parks which attract visitors from across the globe. They are Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Disney/MGM Studios. Other major sights include Miami Beach, St. Augustine (the oldest permanent city in the U.S.), Daytona Beach, Key West, Orlando, Kennedy Space Center and their Space Port, and Everglades National Park.
