The capital of Florida is Tallahassee. Tallahassee is the eighth most populated city in Florida after two other famous Florida cities: Jacksonville and Miami. Tallahassee is in the north of the state in about the middle of the “pan handle.” As the state capital, you’ll find lots of state agency headquarters, lobbying organizations, trade associations, and professional organizations here. Tallahassee is also home to Florida State University and Florida A&M University, both nationally ranked academic institutions. If you plan to move to Florida, you’ll probably find yourself there or in Jacksonville or Miami.
