It was named by Juan Ponce de Leon, who landed on the coast on April 2, 1513, during Pascua Florida (Spanish for Flowery Easter, referring to the Easter season). 1.Geography Florida is situated mostly on a large peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Straits of Florida. It consists of a panhandle, extending along the northern Gulf of Mexico, and a large peninsula, with the Atlantic Ocean as its eastern border and the Gulf of Mexico as its western border. It is bordered on the north by the states of Georgia and Alabama, and on the west, at the end of the panhandle, by Alabama. It is near the countries of the Caribbean, particularly the Bahamas and Cuba. At 345 feet (105 m) above mean sea level, Britton Hill is the highest point in Florida and the lowest highpoint of any U.S. state.
