  • For a list of other U.S. states with similar geographic extensions, see Panhandle The Florida Panhandle, an informal, unofficial term for the northwestern part of Florida, is a strip of land roughly 200 miles long and 50 to 100 miles wide (320 km by 80 to 160 km), lying between Alabama on the north and the west, Georgia also on the north, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. Its eastern boundary is arbitrarily defined. The terms West Florida and Northwest Florida are today generally synonymous with the Panhandle, although historically West Florida was the name of a British colony (1763-1783), later a Spanish colony (1783-1821), both of which included modern-day Florida west of the Apalachicola River as well as portions of what are now Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. As is the case with the other eight U.S. states that have panhandles, the geographic meaning of the term is inexact and elastic. References to the Florida Panhandle always include the ten counties west of the Apalachicola River, a natural geographic boundary, which was the historic dividing line between the British colonies of West Florida and East Florida. These western counties also lie in the Central Time Zone, while the rest of the state is in the Eastern Time Zone. Pensacola, home of the University of West Florida, is the largest metropolitan area west of the Apalachicola (453,451 in 2007). References to the panhandle may also include some or all of eight counties immediately east of the Apalachicola known as the Big Bend region, along the curve of Apalachee Bay. Tallahassee, the state capital, is the largest metropolitan area in this subregion (357,259 in 2008). Emerald Coast, a term coined in 1983, refers in general to the beaches and coastal resorts from Pensacola to Port St. Joe but is sometimes used to refer, by extension, to the Panhandle as a whole, especially west of the Apalachicola. Earlier designations include "Playground of the Gulfcoast" and the "Miracle Strip", especially for the area between Fort Walton Beach and Panama City.
  • Der Nordwestteil Floridas wird aufgrund der Form als Florida Panhandle (Pfannengriff) bezeichnet. Geographisch ist der Florida Panhandle ein ca. 370 km langer und zwischen 60 und 140 km breiter Streifen zwischen Alabama und Georgia im Norden und dem Golf von Mexiko im Süden und gehört nicht zur eigentlichen Halbinsel Florida. Auch kulturell entspricht die Region eher den klassischen Südstaaten. Politisch besteht der Florida Panhandle aus den Countys: Bedeutende Städte sind Pensacola, Panama City und Tallahassee. Die Strandorte ziehen während der Frühjahrsferien zahlreiche Collegestudenten an. Außerdem befinden sich dort die Luftwaffenstützpunkte Eglin Air Force Base und Tyndall Air Force Base. In Ost-West-Richtung verläuft Interstate 10 durch das Gebiet. Der 1936 ausgewiesene Nationalforst Apalachicola National Forest befindet sich ebenfalls in diesem Gebiet.

  • O Panhandle da Flórida é a região do estado da Flórida que inclui os 16 condados mais ao oeste do estado. É uma tira estreita em forma de cabo de frigideira que se encontra entre o Alabama e a Geórgia a norte e o golfo do México a sul. Os condados são: Cultural e historicamente a região é mais parecida com a Região Sul dos Estados Unidos da América do que com o resto da Flórida peninsular. Há quem considere parte do Panhandle como “um Alabama mais baixo. ” Logo após a Guerra Civil Americana os residentes da península da Flórida consideraram seriamente em ceder seu braço ocidental inteiro ao Alabama por 1 milhão de dólares. Os líderes do Alabama decidiram que a terra era “uma região de bancos de areia”, e, em conseqüência, o Panhandle permaneceu na Flórida. Hoje a região é uma fonte importante de rendimento para o estado. As cidades no Panhandle incluem Tallahassee (a capital do estado), Pensacola, e Panama City (Flórida). O Panhandle é conhecido pela "Redneck Riviera", a costa ao longo do golfo do México, que hospeda muitos estudantes de faculdade durante o spring break. A areia de quartzo nas praias do Panhandle é tão branca que alguns comerciantes nada escrupulosos a venderam como açúcar na Segunda Guerra Mundial.
  • The Florida Panhandle, även känt som West Florida, är en region i delstaten Florida, USA, som innefattar större delen av Floridas nordvästra del. Regionen är ett smalt landområde mellan delstaten Alabama i norr och väster, delstaten Georgia i norr och Mexikanska golfen i söder. Regionens östra gräns är godtyckligt definierad längs några utvalda countygränser och inkluderar delstatshuvudstaden Tallahassee och Big Bend-området.
  • Fichier:Panhandle Florida. png Le Panhandle de Floride (Florida Panhandle) est la région de l'État américain de Floride qui comprend les 16 comtés les plus à l'ouest de l'État. Cette panhandle forme une bande étroite s'étirant entre les États d'Alabama et de Georgie au nord et le golfe du Mexique au sud. Culturellement, historiquement et climatiquement, cette région est plus proche du Sud profond que de la péninsule de Floride. L'été, la chaleur y est moins accablante que dans le reste de la Floride. C'est dans cette région que se trouve le point le plus élevé de l'État (105 m). La Panhandle a une superficie de Modèle:Unité soit 20,96% de la superficie de la Floride. Sa population au recensement de 2000 était de habitants soit 7,65 % de la population totale de l'État. Ses principales villes sont Tallahassee, Pensacola et Panama City. Les villes de plage, dont de nombreuses accueillent les étudiants américains pendant leur semaine de relâche, sont quelquefois surnommées ironiquement la Redneck Riviera.
