Welcome to Tallahassee, Crawfordville, and Midway!
Tallahassee is the capital of Florida and is located 20 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico and 14 miles south of the Georgia state line. Our town is proud of its canopy roads, moss-draped oaks and springtime profusion of dogwoods, azaleas, and wisteria. Wildlife reserves, lakes and springs offer nature observation and hunting and fishing.
The City of Tallahassee has a history of growth within the community. Tallahassee started out as a one quarter mile in 1825 and today has expanded to over 100 square miles.
The name "Tallahassee" is actually a Muskogean Indian word often translated as "old fields," or "old town." This may stem from the Creek (later called Seminole) Indians that migrated into this region in the 18th century. And if you didn’t know, now you know...Tallahassee is truly SEMINOLE TERRIORTY!
The founding of Tallahassee was largely a matter of convenience for the government. In 1821, Florida was ceded by Spain to the United States. Meetings were held in alternating places, St. Augustine and Pensacola — the two largest cities in the territory at the time — this led governor William Pope Duval to appoint two commissioners to establish a more central location, Tallahassee.
Tallahassee is not just a local or state governmental city. This area has also grown through education. Tallahassee is home to Florida State University, Florida A&M University, Tallahassee Community College, Lively Vocational School, Barry University, Keiser College, and Nova University.
Within a 100 mile radius Tallahassee serves over 1.2 million people. From entertainment, business and retail… you name it we got it!
With all that Tallahassee has to offer how could you not fall in love with this town?!
