It seems like everyone in Florida visits the same few places, and amazing little towns can fall by the wayside. So we decided to round up some of the coolest, most historic extra-small towns in Florida just for you. Let’s all do our part and keep these awesome tiny towns from falling off the map.
1. Bristol
This town of under 900 in the Panhandle has its own Garden of Eden. Elvy E. Callaway, a baptist preacher in the '50s, studied the scripture and decided that there were so many similarities between Bristol and the Biblical Garden of Eden that this must be the place. It's not that hard to believe for anyone who has seen Florida's natural beauty.
