Thousands of loyalist refugees arrived from the rebellious American colonies beginning in 1775, but most were deported after 1783 to the Bahamas, Jamaica, and other islands of the British West Indies.

*African Americans have been in Florida since early colonial times. There were as many African Americans as whites in Florida between 1830 and 1900. | |||
*The state remained sparsely settled until after the Civil War. Then land speculation, the construction of railroads, and the building of resorts attracted new residents from the northern states. | |||
*There were white settlers in all parts of Florida by 1900, when the total population reached 500,000. | |||
*The population doubled to one million by 1920, when a second Florida land boom was underway. | |||
*Refugees from revolutionary troubles in '''Cuba''' came to Florida beginning in 1868. | |||
*Immigrants from '''northern Spain, Italy, Greece, and other areas of southeastern Europe''' arrived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. | |||
