Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Jacksonville, Florida, has a rich and diverse history that dates back thousands of years. Originally inhabited by the Timucua people, the area was later settled by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. In 1822, Jacksonville was established as a settlement and designated as the territorial capital of Florida. During the Civil War, Jacksonville served as an important Confederate supply base and was occupied by Union forces multiple times. Following the war, the city experienced rapid growth and development with the arrival of the railroad and the establishment of major industries. In the early 20th century, Jacksonville became a popular winter vacation spot for wealthy Northerners, earning the nickname “Winter Film Capital of the World.” However, the city faced major setbacks such as the Great Fire of 1901, which destroyed much of the downtown area. Today, Jacksonville is a vibrant and diverse city known for its beautiful beaches, thriving arts and cultural scene, and bustling downtown area. With a population of over 900,000, Jacksonville continues to grow and evolve while maintaining its rich history.
