Football fans flock to Alltel Stadium to cheer on the Jacksonville Jaguars every time the big cats take to the gridiron. Farther to the east, sportsmen enjoy the beautiful intracoastal waterway. Farther east still, families savor the cool breezes and seashell-lined beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. It's easy to see why our citizens have a case of infectious civic pride. Jacksonville is a city growing better every day.
Visitors often find Jacksonville to be the perfect place to live, work and raise a family.
We know our secret is out because in 1996, the Jacksonville metro area population hit one million. We're a big city with the warmth and hospitality of a small southern town. I hope you enjoy your visit.
