Everglades, Natural wetland region in southern Florida, United States
The Everglades encompasses two million acres of subtropical marshland with sawgrass prairies, hardwood hammocks, mangrove forests, and cypress swamps across southern Florida.
Native American tribes, including the Calusa and Tequesta, inhabited the Everglades region for approximately 15,000 years before European contact changed the demographics.
The Seminole people established themselves in the Everglades during the 1700s, developing specialized techniques for living in the wetlands, including elevated chickee structures.
The Everglades supplies drinking water to one-third of Florida residents and provides irrigation for agricultural activities throughout the state.
The limestone basin creates a slow-moving river system that flows southward from Lake Okeechobee through diverse ecosystems toward Florida Bay.
