List of counties in Florida
There are 67
counties
in the
state of Florida
. It became a
territory of the U.S.
in 1821 with two counties complementing the provincial divisions retained as a Spanish territory:
Escambia
to the west and
St. Johns
to the east, divided by the
Suwanee River
. All of the other counties were apportioned from these two original counties. Florida became the 27th U.S. state in 1845, and its last county was created in 1925 with the formation of
Gilchrist County
from a segment of
Alachua County
. Florida's counties are subdivisions of the
state government
. In 1968, counties gained the power to develop their own
charters
. All but two of Florida's
county seats
are
incorporated municipalities

Crawfordville
, county seat of rural
Wakulla County
, and

Naples
city limits in
