The First Coast is more than a wonderful playground. Jacksonville is headquarters for four Fortune 500 companies and the city’s skyline is a testament to the area’s incredible economic growth over the past century, notably in financial services, healthcare, insurance, biomedical technology and manufacturing.

In addition, as the largest deep-water port on the East Coast, northeast Florida is a leading entry point for imports, especially automobiles, as well as home to several key military installations, including Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Naval Station Mayport.

Home to North America’s earliest European settlement as well as some of its most forward-looking industries, the Jacksonville and St. Augustine area is a fascinating place to live, work and play. Steeped in history, culture and fun, it never stops amazing those who call it home.
