The Big Kahuna: Jacksonville, Florida
Let's get the obvious one out of the way first. Jacksonville, Florida, is the heavyweight champion of Jacksonsvilles. It's the big dog, the top banana, the city so big it could swallow all its namesakes whole and still have room for a celebratory key lime pie. This Jacksonville boasts the beaches, the bustling port, and the most likely place your GPS will take you when you type "Jacksonville" in.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
The Adventures of Lesser Jacksonsvilles
But wait, there's more! There are actually over 20 other Jacksonsvilles scattered across the United States, from coast to coast (and yes, a couple are even a little shy hiding inland). These Jacksonsvilles come in all shapes and sizes: charming towns, blink-and-you'll-miss-them villages, and even a place previously known as Jacksonville that's now called Jamestown (sorry, Jamestown, we still see you!).
Fun Fact: Did you know that if you stacked all the Jacksonsvilles on top of each other, you'd have a very tall, very geographically confusing monument? (Please don't actually try this. Safety first, people!)
Why So Many Jacksonsvilles? A Brief History Lesson (ish)
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
So, how did we end up with a nation speckled with Jacksonsvilles? Blame it on the good ol' American tradition of borrowing ideas (and apparently, place names). Andrew Jackson, the namesake of most of these towns, was a bit of a rockstar back in the day. Politicians loved to curry favor by naming things after him, and Jacksonville became the flavor of the month (or should we say, the decade?).
