The region that is today the State of Florida has been inhabited by Native Americans for more than 13 millennia. The Lindenmeier Site in Larimer County contains artifacts dating from approximately 11200 BCE to 3000 BCE. Florida is nicknamed the "Sunshine State" because of its generally warm climate – subtropical in many regions of the state, with true tropical climate in the far southern portions near Key West.
