Jacksonville Activities: Explore the First Coast
Jacksonville is a city with both historic landmarks and modern attractions. Long before European explorers came to these Atlantic shores, the Mocama-speaking Timucua people inhabited the area. The first European settlement was founded in 1564 by the French Huguenots. Subsequent periods of Spanish and British control also left cultural influences, which you can learn about on-site at Fort Caroline National Monument as well as nearby Fort Matanzas National Monument and St. Augustine.
In the early 20th century, Jacksonville served as a winter haven for the silent film industry. More recently, Jacksonville has been known for business and military operations as well as sporting events, such as Jacksonville Jaguars NFL games in EverBank Stadium and top-tier golf at venues like nearby Ponte Vedra Beach's Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa and TPC Sawgrass courses, where The Players Championship PGA tournament is played.
