I assume FL, prior to air conditioning, and the jet age, was basically everything north of Gainesville?

So basically South AL or South GA? And the rest of the state was more or less swampland? That has to be the reason for the bizarre seat of govt. I know Jacksonville was pretty important.

Even when Miami became a popular leisure destination right after WW2, it had to be something of an island, in a sea of relative nothing.
