The area around St. Johns was sparsely settled for much of its early history and gradually took shape as a residential community during the 20th century. Growth in nearby Jacksonville drew more people to the surrounding county over the decades.
St. Johns is a residential area where families tend to favor a slow-paced, suburban way of life. The streets are quiet during the week and neighbors often spend time outdoors in the mornings and evenings.
Because St. Johns has no clear boundaries or official center, a map app is helpful for getting around and finding specific streets. The area is easy to reach by car, and some parts can be explored on foot or by bike.
Although St. Johns shares its name with the county it sits in, it has no municipal government of its own and barely appears as a distinct place on many maps. This makes it one of the few places to carry a county name without forming a separate town or city.
