JAXPORT 50th Anniversary
Although use of Jacksonville’s port dates back to at least 1565,
the Jacksonville Port Authority was created by a special act of the Florida Legislature in 1963 to develop, maintain and market port facilities.
Throughout 2013, JAXPORT will honor the work that has shaped today's success. As we prepare to recognize the port’s progress and growth in the last 50 years, we hope you’ll take a moment to share your memories. Send us your port-related photos and stories for use in our publications and promotions during 2013.
Thank you for being a part of our past, present, and especially our future. With your help, we’re not only fabulous at 50, we are charting the course to bring another half century of economic prosperity to North Florida and beyond.
In honor of JAXPORT's 50th Anniversary, throughout 2013, you have a chance to join tours on pre-scheduled dates. Look up tour dates and reserve a spot today!
