First Coast

The First Coast is a region of the U.S. state of Florida. It extends south along the east coast of the state from the Georgia state line to the southern end of Anastasia Island. So named for the city of St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States. Encompassing Nassau, Duval, Clay, St. Johns, and Flagler Counties, principal cities include Jacksonville, Fernandina Beach, Orange Park, Jacksonville Beach, St. Augustine and Palm Coast. The geography is coastal plain with low hills along the bluffs of the Saint Johns River. Trail ridge, an ancient seashore, borders the western boundary of the First Coast and separates the region from the Okefenokee Swamp.
