For the proposed downtown condominium, see The Floridian (condominium).
The Floridian was the first newspaper in Northwest Florida. It published its first issue on August 18, 1821, with an account of Florida's transfer to the United States. The second page contained Andrew Jackson's proclamation to territory residents and a letter to troops.
