This resolution designates February 5, 2026, as "St. Johns County Day" in Florida, recognizing the county's significant historical importance as one of Florida's first counties established in 1821, home to St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied European-founded city in the United States, and numerous historical landmarks like the Castillo de San Marcos and Fort Mose, the first free African American community. The resolution also highlights St. Johns County's contributions to Florida's modernization through Henry Flagler's developments, its natural beauty with 42 miles of coastline, its highly-ranked public school system, its world-renowned holiday light display, "Nights of Lights," and its overall role as a pillar of Florida's history, tourism, and economy, celebrating its vibrant communities, cultural enrichment, recreational opportunities, and high quality of life.
