Show moreThe State of Florida is divided into 67 counties. These counties serve as an "arm of the state" and administer state governmental functions at the local level. The last county to be created was Gilchrist on December 4, 1925. Since then, the state has evolved from a frontier state (population 1925) into the forth most populous state (population 1995) in the U.S. The county boundaries have not reflected this evolution. Using geographic information systems (GIS) and current census information the county boundaries of Florida will be reconfigured in hopes of better representing the citizens of the State of Florida at the county level.
