St. Johns River, Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, United States, North America
The St. Johns River is the longest river in the U.S. state of Florida and its most significant one for commercial and recreational use. At 310 miles (500 km) long, it winds through or borders twelve counties, three of which are the state's largest. The drop in elevation from headwaters to mouth is less than 30 feet (9 m); like most Florida waterways, the St. Johns has a very low flow rate 0.3 mph (0.13 m/s) and is often described as lazy. Popular belief in the St. Johns area holds that it is one of the few rivers that flow north, although north-flowing rivers are common. Numerous lakes are formed by the river or flow into it, but as a river its widest point is nearly 3 miles (5 km) across. The narrowest point is in the headwaters, an unnavigable marsh in Indian River County. The St. Johns drainage basin of 8,840 square miles (22,900 km2) includes some of Florida's major wetlands. It is separated into three major basins and two associated watersheds for Lake George and the Ocklawaha River, all managed by the St. Johns River Water Management District. A variety of people have lived on or near the St. Johns, including Paleo-indians, Archaic people, Timucua, Mocama, French and Spanish settlers, Seminoles, slaves and freemen, Florida crackers, land developers, tourists and retirees. It has been the subject of William Bartram's journals, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' books, and Harriet Beecher Stowe's letters home. Although Florida was the location of the first permanent European settlement in what would become the United States, it was the last U.S. territory on the east coast to be developed; it remained an undeveloped frontier into the 20th century. When attention was turned to the state, however, much of the land was rapidly overdeveloped in a national zeal for progress. The St. Johns, like many Florida rivers, was altered to make way for agricultural and residential centers. It suffered severe pollution and human interference that has diminished the natural order of life in and around the river. In all, 3.5 million people live within the various watersheds that feed into the St. Johns River. The St. Johns, named one of 14 American Heritage Rivers in 1998, was number 6 on a list of America's Ten Most Endangered Rivers in 2008. Restoration efforts are under way for the basins around the St. Johns as Florida continues to deal with population increases in the river's vicinity.

Jacksonville is the largest city in the U.S. state of Florida and is the county seat of Duval County, with which it is consolidated. Located in Northeast Florida, and at the mouth of the St. Johns River, it is a major seaport city and the center of the Jacksonville metropolitan area. With an estimated 913,010 residents as of 2017, Jacksonville is the most populous city in both the state of Florida[9] and the southeastern United States.[10] It is estimated to be the 12th most populous city in the United States and is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States.[11] The Jacksonville metropolitan area has a population of 1,626,611. It is the 34th largest MSA in the United States and fourth largest in the state of Florida.[12] The city is situated on the banks of the St. Johns River, in the First Coast region of North Florida, about 25 miles (40 km) south of the Georgia state line and 340 miles (550 km) north of Miami.
Jacksonville is the cultural, commercial and financial center of North Florida. A major military and civilian deepwater port, the city is the site of two U.S. Navy bases, Naval Station Mayport and Naval Air Station Jacksonville, and the Port of Jacksonville, Florida's third largest seaport that includes the U.S. Marine Corps Blount Island Command.[13] These three naval bases and the nearby Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay form the third-largest military center in the U.S.[14]
Jacksonville also serves as headquarters for various banking, insurance, healthcare, logistics, and other institutions. These include CSX Corporation, Fidelity National Financial, FIS, Landstar System, Ameris Bancorp, Atlantic Coast Financial, Black Knight Financial Services, EverBank, Rayonier Advanced Materials, Regency Centers, Stein Mart, Web.com, Fanatics, Gate Petroleum, Haskell Company, Interline Brands, Sally Corporation, and Southeastern Grocers. Jacksonville is also home to several colleges and universities, including University of North Florida, Jacksonville University and Florida State College at Jacksonville.
Prior to European settlement, the Jacksonville area was inhabited by Native American people known as the Timucua. In 1564, the French established the short-lived colony of Fort Caroline at the mouth of the St. Johns River, which was one of the earliest European settlements in the continental United States. In 1822, a year after the United States acquired Florida from Spain, settlers platted the town of Jacksonville along the north side of the St. Johns River. Established at a narrow point in the river known as Wacca Pilatka to the Seminole and Cow Ford to the British, the city was named after Andrew Jackson, the first military governor of the Florida Territory and seventh President of the United States.

Canoeing the St. John's River to Ancient Florida Indian Mounds
A canoe trip on the St. John's River in Central Florida. This river was inhabited by various groups of Native Americans throughout the ages. This section of the river was likely inhabited by Indians in association with the Mayaca and Ais Indians. After 1700 the Seminole Indians inhabited this area and used and added to the mounds originally inhabited by earlier tribes. The St. John's river is Florida's largest river and stretches over 300 miles starting in South Florida near Blue Cypress Preserve and dumping out into the Atlantic Ocean in Jacksonville. The St. John's River flows South to North rather than North to South as most rivers. There are numerous rivers that feed the St. John's that also follow a South to North pattern. The Indians that originally lived along the St. John's River went into extinction. The later Seminoles Indians were pushed further south because of conflict with American settlers and war with the United States Army.

Florida Riverfront Estate on St Johns River at Switzerland Point
''Old Florida at its best! Located on historic Switzerland Point, the 3,808 square-foot residence overlooks the broad expanse of the St. Johns River at a point where it is several miles wide. Spectacular sunsets… Boating… Fishing… Shrimping… and Manatee watching. The home has been well-maintained and updated regularly with gorgeous new kitchen and three car garage. Enter the home through a gracious Foyer into a large yet comfortable Great Room with a center fireplace surrounded (above and on both sides) by 20 foot tall glass windows framing the view of the river and pool. The spacious kitchen features an eating area overlooking the pool with a fireplace tucked into the corner, making the kitchen a warm and comfortable place to gather.
Adjacent to the Kitchen is a spacious and bright Dining Room. The first floor also offers that sought-after first floor guest suite overlooking the river.
The Master Suite and three upstairs bedrooms all feature large balconies overlooking the deep swimming pool and the St. Johns River. With a total of five bedrooms and three and a half baths, this well laid out Riverfront Residence provides both drama and comfort. In fact every room except the dining room faces the riverfront.
This gracious Old Florida property is home to the several hundred-year-old Switzerland Magnolia, yet you can see the tops of the Jacksonville skyscrapers from your dock at night. Located less than 10 miles from the Interstate Beltway (I-295) circling the City of Jacksonville, you can enjoy the privacy of your estate with river breezes and expansive views, but then quickly enjoy the benefits of a nearby million person city with an international airport, or walk the streets and shops of the Ancient City, St. Augustine, just a short distance to the south. Square footage to be verified by buyer.
As a historic note to the listing, the Switzerland Magnolia is on this property at Switzerland Point. This is the likely location of Fatio's grand home on his 10,000 acre Plantation from a 1772 British land grant. With 4,000 orange trees this plantation prospered until the Seminole Wars in the mid-nineteenth century. For well over a hundred years after that, this spot was a favorite destination by boat for a picnic where you could easily pick out the Switzerland Magnolia which rose above all others.Often when the current homeowners place a spade in the ground, they find 18th Century creamware or a Spanish olive jar.
