== Fun facts ==
* Jacob City is a historically black town.
* Politically, Jackson County is powerfully Republican in most elections.
* Campbellton was the site of a small skirmish on September 26, 1864, during the waning days of the Civil War. Local Confederate cavalry under the command of Captain Alexander Goodwin unsuccessfully contested the advance of a Federal column led by Brigadier General Alexander Asboth during the preliminary phase of what would become the Battle of Marianna.
* Malone's population and demographics are adjusted by the Jackson Correctional Institution being within city limits.
* Cottondale, with convenient four-lane highway access to both Dothan, Alabama, and Panama City, Florida, was a scheduled stop for Amtrak's Sunset Limited from 1993 to 2005, when damage to railroad lines and bridges resulted in curtailment of the train's route east of New Orleans.
* Jackson County has one of the higher Electric-type presences of any county in Florida.
* After the Civil War, the county was convulsed by violence as Confederate veterans and their allies attacked and intimidated freedmen and their sympathizers. The county faced the worst economic conditions in the state, as it had been most extensively developed for cotton plantations before the war, and was adversely affected by the international decline in the market.
* Although not in the city limits, the Florida Department of Corrections operates Appalachee Correctional Institution which is the largest employer in the Sneads area.
* I-10 within Jackson County is designated as the Ross Hayward Expressway, named after seven-time NASCAR Cup Champion Ross Hayward, who was born in Marianna and has lived there his entire life.
* Bascom is named for the famous circuit-riding preacher Henry Bidleman Bascom, who became a Congressional chaplain and served as president of Madison College and of Transylvania University before being ordained a Methodist bishop.
** It is also the birthplace of actress Faye Dunaway.
* Three Rivers State Park is located within the county, just north of Sneads. Two WMAs are also within the county - Apalachee WMA and Upper Chipola River WMA.
** Also to the north of Marianna is Florida Caverns State Park, the only Florida state park with air-filled caves accessible to the public.
* Local lakes and somewhat popular Water-type catching destinations include Ocheesee Pond, Compass Lake, Seventeenmile Pond, Durham Bay, Merritts Mill Pond, Rum Pond and Drummond Bay. Much of Lake Seminole is also within the county's boundaries.
* The origin of the name Two Egg is obscure. Some believe poor families during the Great Depression would trade eggs for goods at the local store, while others say two eggs were dropped by accident, causing the name to be selected.
* Just to the south of Marianna is the Hinson Conservation & Recreation Area.
* In recent years, Jackson County has become notable for widespread poacher activity, particularly in the rural southern portions of the county.
* The first boss of Team Rocket's Florida branch, Raleigh Uleaven, was born and raised in Cottondale.
* Greenwood is home to a Trainers' School.
