Off to Florida



"The Sunshine State" (Official)
A real hit motto for the tourism industry - a message of lovely heat and nice weather (even though rough weather is not unusual).



Just like the Florida state motto has reached an official status by legislature, this Florida state nickname was adopted as official state nickname by legislature in 1970.


"The Orange State"
This Florida nickname stems from the unusual rich abundance of orange groves growing across the state.






"The Alligator State"
A less flattering nickname - namely one of warning. This one of the Florida state nicknames finds its origin in the large quantity of alligators lurking in the dampness of the treacherous swamps and streams of Florida.





"The Gulf State"
Florida is placed right in Gulf – hence this nickname.

"The Peninsula State"
Seen from above - the easily recognizable shape of Florida protruding down into the Gulf.


"The Everglade State"
An imagery related to "The Alligator State" – plenty of everglades, home of alligators.


"The Flower State"
Florida's flowery wild life is of such beauty that "The Flower State" only seems fitting.
