What is Florida Panhandle?
[[File:Panhandle Florida.png|right|300px]] The '''Florida Panhandle''' is the region of the state of [[Florida]] which includes the westernmost 10 to 18 [[county|counties]] in the state. It is a narrow strip lying between [[Alabama]] and [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] to the north and the [[Gulf of Mexico]] to the south. While some definitions only include the counties west of the [[:en:Apalachicola River|Apalachicola River]], others include the eight counties east of the Apalachicola that are part of the [[Big Bend (Florida)|Big Bend]] region. Culturally and in terms of history and climate, the region is more closely tied to the [[:en:Deep South|Deep South]] than to [[peninsula|peninsular]] Florida.<ref>''Florida'', DK Eyewitness Travel Guides, 2004, pg. 20</ref> ==Related pages== *[[Panhandle]] == References == {{reflist}} {{Florida}} {{US-geo-stub}} [[Category:Geography of Florida]]
