Located in Northeast Florida at the crossroads of two interstate highways, Jacksonville is the largest city in the contiguous United States in land area, a major port, the insurance and financial center of the state, site of U.S. Navy bases and the home of the National Football League's Jacksonville Jaguars. 

The City of Jacksonville ranks as the 14th largest city in the United States in population with more than 800,000 residents. The metropolitan area, which includes three beach cities and Clay, Baker, Nassau and St. Johns counties, has a population of more than 1,000,000 residents. Jacksonville covers 841 square miles (217,559 hectares).

In February 2005, the city hosted the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots and their fans at Super Bowl XXXIX.  Thousands of football fans and volunteers in Jacksonville, anxious to show the world why our city is so special, prepared a world-class welcome.  Thanks again to all the folks who visited our city and enjoyed our hospitality.
