Pasco County Fire Rescue issued the following announcement on January 25.
Happy #NationalFloridaDay, everyone!
It may not feel like our typical sunny day with an average temperature of 79.5, but it is National Florida Day!
East and West Florida became the 14th and 15th British Colonies after the French and Indian War in 1763. The present-day borders of Florida were absorbed through two transactions: The Louisianna Purchase in 1803 brought East Florida with it, and through a U.S. intervention in an uprising in West Florida in 1812, causing West Florida to join the Mississippi Territory.
Boy, we have come a long way in that time! Now, the Tampa Bay region and Pasco County are some of the fastest-growing communities in the country! We are #PascoProud to live here!
