Abstract

Northwest Florida is the long arm of the State that extends along the Gulf Coast south of Georgia and Alabama and includes the 16 counties west of the Aucilla River (see map, fig. 1). It is a rather sparsely settled area in which only 26 percent of the total population of 254,000 (1930 Census) live in cities of 2,500 population or larger; most of the inhabitants live on farms and in lumber or turpentine camps. Pensacola near the western boundary, with over 30,000 people, and Tallahassee near the eastern edge, with about 11,000 people, are the only cities of more than 10,000 population.
