There are several counties in Florida's panhandle that cover from the state's northern border down to the Gulf of Mexico, but Jefferson County is the only one that touches the Florida/Georgia border on the north rather than Alabama. The county is named after Thomas Jefferson and should you want to do business after the noon hour on Thursdays at the county courthouse, think again. The courthouse closes down and has done so even though the original reason no longer takes place. Thursday afternoons is when they used to hang criminals in the county. At least the more enjoyable part of the tradition is still going strong.
