1845年3月3日，Florida 正式成為 United States 第27個州。

早在16世紀，西班牙探險者已踏足佛羅里達。此後數百年間，佛羅里達曾在西班牙與英國之間多次易手，直至1821年被美國收購，成為美國領地。

在成為州份之前的二十多年，當地人口逐漸增加，政治與經濟制度逐步建立。最終在1845年3月3日，佛羅里達正式加入聯邦。

當時的佛羅里達以農業為主，人口稀少，屬於邊疆地區。隨著時間推移，它經歷了巨大的轉變，從開發中的邊境地帶，發展成為今日人口眾多、文化多元、旅遊業發達的重要州份。

從歷史邊陲到國際知名地區，佛羅里達的州份之路，始於1845年3月3日。

English Article Version

On March 3, 1845, Florida officially became the 27th state of the United States.

Originally explored by Spanish settlers in the 16th century, Florida changed hands multiple times between Spain and Britain before eventually being acquired by the United States in 1821. For over two decades, it remained a U.S. territory while its population steadily grew.

By the mid-19th century, Florida had developed enough political and economic structure to qualify for statehood. On March 3, 1845, it was formally admitted to the Union.

At the time, Florida was largely rural, with agriculture forming the backbone of its economy. Over the next century, it would transform dramatically — from frontier territory to one of the most populous and internationally recognized states in America.

Today, Florida is known for its diverse culture, coastline, tourism industry, and major cities such as Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. But its journey as a state began on this day in 1845.
