Auto Transport to and from Tallahassee
Tallahassee is the capital of the state of Florida, and with a population just over 168,000 is the county seat of Leon County. The city is known for its many colleges and high-tech businesses, with schools such as Florida State University and Florida A&M residing within its boundaries. It is also the home of several major defense contractors which bring in much of the city’s income, as well as many massive law firms, including the Florida Bar.
Hernando de Soto was the first European to pass through what is now Tallahassee, and the first Christmas celebrated on North America was celebrated about a half mile east of the border of the city. During the Civil War, it was the only Confederate state capital ease of the Mississippi River not captured by Union forces, and after the Civil War the city’s economy slowed down due to slavery being abolished. Factories gradually moved south and east as the years wore on, a trend that continues into today. However, with the establishment of Florida State University and Florida A&M, the city has grown population-wise because of the high-tech jobs offered by the universities.
Tallahassee is a typical Florida city, with hot, wet summers and cold, dry winters. During the summer months, it isn’t uncommon to see temperatures peaking in the mid 90’s, while during the night they can drop as low as 70 degrees (though typically not much lower). During the winter, temperatures hover around 65 degrees for the normal high, while the normal lows dip into the lower 40’s, causing a “snowbird” sensation, where residents who live in colder states will buy winter homes in Florida to escape the cold.
