Florida State Day

April 2

 

Adopted on April 2, 1953

 

 

Designated by the 1953 legislature as State Day because Ponce de León first sighted Florida about that date in 1513. The designation by lawmakers was at the suggestion of Mary A. Harrell, a teacher of Social Studies in the John Gorrie Junior High School of Jacksonville.
