Senate Resolution 7-00346-26, introduced by Senator Leek, designates February 5, 2026, as St. Johns County Day in Florida. This resolution honors the county's significant contributions to the state, its rich historical and cultural heritage, and its ongoing importance to Florida's prosperity. Established in 1821, St. Johns County is recognized as one of Florida's first counties and played a crucial role in the state's early modernization, particularly through the efforts of Henry Flagler, who developed the railroad and established the Hotel Ponce de Leon, now Flagler College.

The resolution highlights St. Johns County's diverse offerings, including its status as home to the nation's oldest city, numerous historic landmarks, and 43 miles of pristine coastline. It emphasizes the county's vibrant communities, cultural enrichment, economic development, and high quality of life, all of which contribute to Florida's identity and success. St. Johns County Day is intended to celebrate these attributes and acknowledge the county's profound impact on the state.
