Jacksonville (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781467114684)

This book explores Jacksonville's transformation into the largest city (by land area) in the contiguous United States with images of significant events in its history. Like many of the country's older cities, Jacksonville suffered from the negative impacts of rapid urban sprawl after World War II. Amid a declining tax base, public schools losing their accreditation, and government corruption scandals, Jacksonville voters approved a referendum to consolidate the struggling city with Duval County to create the Bold New City of the South. These changes, along with many others, have continued to guide this Southern metropolis into the 21st century.
