House Journals

This is a listing for journals of the House of Representatives of the Florida state government.

Publication History

Florida's American territorial government was begun in 1822, and at some point its legislative council became bicameral. Florida became a state in 1845, with a State House and Senate. Florida seceded from the United States in 1861, and its legislature continued to meet during secession. It was readmitted to the Union in 1868. Its legislature (formerly known as the General Assembly) meets to this day.
