New Capitol (immeuble en arrière-plan) et Old Capitol (bâtiment de style grec au premier plan) Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] Origines[modifier | modifier le code] Le nom « Tallahassee » est un mot indien Muskogean souvent traduit par « vieux champs », en séminole, ou « vieille ville ». « Mardi, le 31, nous arrivâmes dans une ville appelée Tallahassee. La construction[modifier | modifier le code] Alors que la Floride devenait un territoire américain sous l'impulsion d'Andrew Jackson, des plans pour construire une capitale furent établis. 1845 sera un tournant pour la ville : le 8 mars, les habitants se réunissent pour fêter l'entrée de la Floride dans l'Union 3 jours auparavant. Après la guerre de Sécession, la plupart de l'industrie de Floride se déplaça vers le Sud et l'Est, une tendance que l'on retrouve d'ailleurs toujours maintenant.

Flag of Montreal Flag of Montreal from 1939 to 2017 Flag of Montreal from 1935 to 1939 The flag of Montreal was first displayed in May 1935 and is based on the city's coat of arms. It was revised in May 1939 and again in 13 September 2017. Symbolism[edit] The red heraldic cross represents the "Christian motives and principles which governed the founders of the city," according to the city's official web site.[1] The five emblems represent the ancestral presence of Indigenous peoples and the four main European ethnic groups that were settled in the city in the 19th century, and which are also represented on the Canadian Red Ensign. Previous flag[edit] Montreal's flag is based on its coat of arms. Four years prior to the first raising of the revised flag, King George V, the sovereign of Canada, celebrated his Silver Jubilee (25th year on the throne) on Monday May 6, 1935. Current flag[edit] See also[edit] Notes[edit] ^ "What do the symbols on Montréal's coat of arms mean?" External links[edit]
(1) Organic Green Roots Floride Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La Floride est constituée d'une péninsule de 700 km et d'une panhandle étroite. Sa géographie est marquée par un littoral étendu, par l'omniprésence de l'eau et par la menace des ouragans. Le relief se caractérise par de faibles altitudes — le point culminant atteignant seulement 105 m d'altitude — et des terrains sédimentaires, le climat variant de subtropical au nord, à tropical au sud. Ses animaux emblématiques, comme le lamantin et l'alligator, peuvent être aperçus dans les Everglades, l'un des parcs nationaux les plus connus au monde. Depuis sa découverte, en 1513, par l'Espagnol Juan Ponce de León qui la baptise « La Pascua Florida » (« la Pâque fleurie » en référence au dimanche des Rameaux), la Floride est un enjeu pour les puissances coloniales européennes avant d'intégrer les États-Unis en 1845.
