The First Coast is a region of Florida, in the United States. It extends along the Atlantic, or eastern, coast of the state, from the Georgia border, past the southern end of Anastasia Island, to Marineland. The name First Coast is an intentional double entendre; it denotes both the fact that the oldest permanent European settlement (St. Augustine) lies within its boundaries, and the fact that it is, quite literally, the "first coast" of Florida that a voyager would encounter while traveling along the eastern seaboard of the United States.
The name was not actually coined until the 1970s, when a group of representatives from local Chambers of Commerce wanted to market the region of Northeast Florida in a manner similar to other Florida regions, which had chosen such appellations as "Sun Coast", "Emerald Coast", and "Treasure Coast". Though it potentially could have faded into oblivion like many other marketing ideas, the name finally took off during the mid-1980s, and was probably permanently cemented by the opening of First Coast High School in Jacksonville in 1990.
It includes all of the counties of Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, and St. Johns; Baker County, while landlocked, was invited by the other counties to participate and was always included in early literature promoting the region. The principal cities of Florida's First Coast include Fernandina Beach, Jacksonville, Orange Park, and St. Augustine. The terrain consists of a coastal plain with low hills along the bluffs of the St. Johns River. Trail Ridge, an ancient seashore, borders the western boundary of the First Coast and separates the region from the Okefenokee Swamp.
