Springfield
The State of Florida is a state in the southeastern United States. Florida is situated mostly on a large peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Straits of Florida. It extends to the northwest into a panhandle, extending along the northern Gulf of Mexico. Florida's nickname is the Sunshine State but severe weather is a common occurrence in the state. It is bordered on the north by the states of Georgia and Alabama, and on the west, at the end of the panhandle, by Alabama.
Springfield is a city in Bay county, Florida to the east of Panama city. The population was 8,810 at the 2000 census and 9,043 according to the 2005 census estimate. The city was incorporated on February 12, 1935. Unlike much of Bay county, Springfield had been mostly left out of the recent real estate boom, possibly due to the large chemical mills and paper plant on the waterfront. It was a home to Rutherford high school, Everitt middle school, Springfield elementary school and Shaw adult learning center.
