Gainesville is one of Florida’s most important educational, medical, cultural, and sporting hubs, thanks to Florida State Institution, the state’s oldest and biggest public university. University of Florida (UF) & Shands Hospital at UF were two of the largest employers in Gainesville, and they employ many people from neighbouring counties. Gainesville’s abundant parks, museums, and lakes attract thousands of tourists each year because of the city’s preservation of historic structures and natural beauty. Since Gainesville has a stunning scenery and urban “forest,” it is one of Florida’s most popular cities.
