About: List of city nicknames in Florida

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

This partial list of city nicknames in Florida compiles the aliases, sobriquets and slogans that cities in Florida are known by (or have been known by historically), officially and unofficially, to local people, outsiders or their tourism boards or chambers of commerce. City nicknames can help in establishing a civic identity, helping outsiders recognize a community or attracting people to a community because of its nickname; promote civic pride; and build community unity. Nicknames and slogans that successfully create a new community "ideology or myth" are also believed to have economic value. Their economic value is difficult to measure, but there are anecdotal reports of cities that have achieved substantial economic benefits by "branding" themselves by adopting new slogans.

  • This partial list of city nicknames in Florida compiles the aliases, sobriquets and slogans that cities in Florida are known by (or have been known by historically), officially and unofficially, to local people, outsiders or their tourism boards or chambers of commerce. City nicknames can help in establishing a civic identity, helping outsiders recognize a community or attracting people to a community because of its nickname; promote civic pride; and build community unity. Nicknames and slogans that successfully create a new community "ideology or myth" are also believed to have economic value. Their economic value is difficult to measure, but there are anecdotal reports of cities that have achieved substantial economic benefits by "branding" themselves by adopting new slogans.

  • Daftar julukan kota di Florida ini mengandung , julukan, dan slogan yang disematkan kepada beberapa kota di Florida (resmi dan tidak resmi) oleh pemerintah kota, masyarakat setempat, orang asing, badan pariwisata, atau kamar dagang. Julukan kota berperan sebagai perintis identitas lokal, membantu orang asing mengenali masyarakat setempat, atau mengajak orang berkunjung karena julukannya khas; mengangkat martabat daerah; dan mempersatukan masyarakat. Julukan dan slogan yang berubah menjadi "ideologi atau mitos" baru juga diyakini memiliki potensi ekonomi. Potensi ekonominya sulit diukur, tetapi ada beberapa kota yang memakai slogan baru untuk memasarkan/mencitrakan diri dan memanfaatkan potensi ekonomi tersebut. Beberapa julukan tidak resmi bersifat positif dan negatif. Julukan tidak resmi di bawah ini populer dan sudah lama digunakan. * – Indoor Foliage Capital of the World * – The City of Excellence * * City of Oaks and Azaleas * The City of Oaks * The 'Tow * – Muck City * Boca Raton – A City for All Seasons * Cape Coral – Waterfront Wonderland * – America's Sweetest Town * – Butterfly Capital of the World * – The City Beautiful * Coral Springs – The City in the Country * – Hub City * – The Athens of Florida * – Florida's Bright Spot * – The World's Luckiest Fishing Village * – The City of Bright Tomorrows * – Shark's Tooth Capital of the World * Fort Lauderdale – Venice of America * Fort Myers – The City of Palms * – The Sunshine City * * Billfish Capital of the World * Emerald Coast * Gainesville * * The Tree City * Rainsville * Gator Country * – The Heart of Florida * Hialeah – City of Progress * Jacksonville * Jax * Where Florida Begins * Bold New City of the South * * * Southernmost City In The Continental United States * * Dime City * – The Harbor City * Miami – The Magic City * * The Brick City * Horse Capital of the World (with ) – the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association, obtained the trademark on behalf of Ocala and Marion County in the late 1990s.
