Jacob City is a small city fully surrounded by Marianna and is often mistaken for one of its neighborhoods.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nMost of the county’s smaller unincorporated communities are served by the nearest town’s ZIP code rather than a code of their own.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nJackson County sits on Florida’s Panhandle, with karst terrain, sinkholes and caverns unusual for the state — Florida Caverns State Park, near Marianna, is built around one of the largest cave systems open to the public in Florida. The Chattahoochee, Apalachicola and Chipola rivers run through the county, and Three Rivers State Park lies north of Sneads at the point where the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers join to form the Apalachicola. The county’s total area is 955 square miles, of which 918 square miles are land and 37 square miles are water.<\/p>\n Jackson County borders Washington County<\/a> to the south, Calhoun County<\/a> to the southeast, Gadsden County<\/a> to the east, Holmes County to the west, Seminole County, Georgia to the north, and Houston County, Alabama to the northwest.<\/p>\n The county’s population was 47,319 at the 2020 census. Marianna, with 6,245 residents, is by far the largest community, followed by Graceville at 2,153. Median household income in the county trails the Florida median of $73,311 by a wide margin, reflecting the rural, agriculture-and-corrections economy of the Panhandle interior. Population density is roughly 52 people per square mile.<\/p>\n Agriculture, forestry and state institutions anchor the local economy. Jackson County has long grown cotton, peanuts and timber, and cattle ranching remains common on its rolling farmland. Marianna hosts Chipola College, a state college serving the region, and several state correctional facilities are major employers countywide. Graceville is home to Sunland Health and Rehabilitation Center. The Florida Caverns State Park draws visitors year-round and supports a small tourism sector around Marianna.<\/p>\n Jackson County was created by the Florida Territorial Council in 1822, carved out of Escambia County, making it one of the state’s oldest counties. It was named for Andrew Jackson, a general in the War of 1812 who later became the first military governor of Florida and, in 1829, the seventh president of the United States. Marianna, the county seat, was the site of an 1864 Civil War engagement, the Battle of Marianna, fought between Union raiders and a hastily assembled Confederate home guard.<\/p>\n Interstate 10 runs east\u2013west across the county, with U.S. Route 90 and U.S. Route 231 providing the main local connections.<\/p>\n Where is Jackson County, Florida?<\/strong> What is the population of Jackson County?<\/strong> How big is Jackson County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Jackson County?<\/strong> How many towns and cities are in Jackson County?<\/strong> |
