Answer:
Nicknamed the "Sunshine State" or the "Peninsula State", Florida (FL) is the fourth most populous state in the United States, with a total population exceeding 19 million.
Although the Florida Territory was under the auspices of the US government since the 1820s, it did not become our 27th state until 1845. The capital is Tallahassee, although cities such as Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville and St. Petersburg are more populous.
