The largest city in Florida by population and largest city by area in the lower-48 states

The city of Jacksonville covers an incredible 875 square miles of land, more so than any city in the lower-48 states. A few small cities in Alaska have greater land area, but their populations are only a fraction of Jacksonville's, which is nearly 900,000. Being the most populous city in the state, Jacksonville has become a center for a number of large events, including the Jacksonville Jazz Festival, the second-largest jazz festival in the country, and the famous Gate River Run road race, which draws over 13,000 people each year.
