| Duval County, Florida |
Duval County is a county located in the U.S. state of Florida. As of 2000, the population
was 778,879. The U.S. Census Bureau 2005 estimate for the county is 826,436 [1]. Its
county seat is Jacksonville, Florida.
Duval County was created in 1822 from St. Johns County. It was named for William Pope
Duval, Territorial Governor of Florida from 1822 to 1834. When Duval County was created
it covered a massive area, from the Suwannee River on the west to the Atlantic Ocean on
the east, north of a line from the mouth of the Suwannee River to Jacksonville on the St.
Johns River. Alachua and Nassau Counties were created out of parts of Duval County in
1824. Clay County was created from part of Duval County in 1858. Part of St. Johns
County south and east of the lower reaches of the St. Johns River was transferred to
Duval County in the 1840s.
On October 1, 1968, the government of Duval County was consolidated with the
government of the City of Jacksonville, although the Duval County cities of Atlantic Beach,
Baldwin, Jacksonville Beach, and Neptune Beach are not included in the corporate limits of
Jacksonville, and maintain their own municipal governments. In the early 1990s these
three beach cities considered separating from Duval and forming Ocean County, an idea
that had been discussed since consolidation, but after the 1995 election of Jacksonville
mayor John Delaney, a resident and former Mayor of Neptune Beach, the idea was
dropped
