Duval County is the central county of the [[Jacksonville metropolitan area|Jacksonville Metropolitan Statistical Area]]. ==History== This area had been settled by varying cultures of [[indigenous peoples]] for thousands of years before European contact. Within the [[Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve]] in [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]], [[archeologists]] have excavated remains of some of the oldest pottery in the United States, dating to 2500 BCE. Prior to [[European colonization of the Americas|European contact]], the area was inhabited by the [[Mocama]], a [[Timucua language|Timucuan]]-speaking group who lived throughout the coastal areas of northern Florida.<ref>[http://chronicle.augusta.com/stories/2009/10/25/out_553144.shtml Matt Soergel, "Archaeologists help distinguish Mocama group"], Morris News Service, 25 October 2009, accessed 11 May 2010</ref> At the time Europeans arrived, much of what is now Duval County was controlled by the [[Saturiwa]], one of the region's most powerful tribes. The area that became Duval County was home to the 16th-century [[France|French]] colony of [[Fort Caroline]], and saw increased European settlement in the 18th century with the establishment of [[Cowford]], later renamed [[Jacksonville, Florida|Jacksonville]]. Duval County was created in 1822 from [[St. Johns County, Florida|St. Johns County]]. It was named for [[William Pope Duval]], [[Governor of Florida|Governor]] of [[Florida Territory]] from 1822 to 1834.<ref>{{cite book | url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_9V1IAAAAMAAJ | title=The Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States | publisher=Govt.

[[Alachua County, Florida|Alachua]] and [[Nassau County, Florida|Nassau]] counties were created out of parts of Duval County in 1824. [[Clay County, Florida|Clay County]] was created from part of Duval County in 1858. Part of St. Johns County south and east of the lower reaches of the St. Johns River was transferred to Duval County in the 1840s.<ref>Fernald, Edward A., Ed. (1981) ''Atlas of Florida''.

Despite the small Democratic plurality in registration, the county's Democrats are nowhere near as liberal as their counterparts in other large Florida counties, such as [[Miami-Dade County|Miami-Dade]] and [[Orange County, Florida|Orange]]. The county has only supported a Democrat for president three times since 1952, in [[1960 United States presidential election in Florida|1960]], [[1976 United States presidential election in Florida|1976]], and [[2020 United States presidential election in Florida|2020]]. However, the Republican edge in Duval has lessened somewhat in recent years. It swung from a 16-point win for [[George W. Bush]] in 2004 to only a three-point win for [[John McCain]] in 2008. [[Mitt Romney]] won an equally narrow margin in 2012 and in 2016, [[Donald Trump]] only won the county by fewer than 6,000 votes even as he narrowly carried Florida. In 2020, [[Joe Biden]], despite losing statewide, broke the 44-year Democratic drought in Duval County, winning by less than four points. In 2018, [[Andrew Gillum]], despite losing the election, won Duval by four points, the first time a Democrat had won the county in a gubernatorial election since [[Steve Pajcic]]'s losing bid in 1986. Four years later, however, Duval rebounded to vote for [[Ron DeSantis]] by over 10 points. In the Senate elections, [[Bill Nelson]] only failed to carry the county in his first bid in 2000, and [[Lawton Chiles]] and [[Bob Graham]] carried the county in all three of their respective bids. {{PresHead|place=Duval County, Florida|source=<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=2018-06-14}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2020|Democratic|233,762|252,556|7,843|Florida}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|211,672|205,704|19,197|Florida}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|211,615|196,737|4,381|Florida}} {{PresRow|2008|Republican|210,537|202,618|3,538|Florida}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|220,190|158,610|2,261|Florida}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|152,460|108,039|4,682|Florida}} {{PresRow|1996|Republican|126,959|112,328|14,836|Florida}} {{PresRow|1992|Republican|123,631|92,098|34,197|Florida}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|128,081|74,894|1,004|Florida}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|128,724|77,488|37|Florida}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|98,664|90,466|6,424|Florida}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|74,997|105,912|1,652|Florida}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|122,154|46,530|520|Florida}} {{PresRow|1968|American Independent|51,585|54,834|60,559|Florida}} {{PresRow|1964|Republican|81,116|79,365|0|Florida}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|59,073|70,091|0|Florida}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|53,481|53,127|0|Florida}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|50,346|53,949|0|Florida}} {{PresRow|1948|Democratic|15,379|28,567|15,749|Florida}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|12,220|36,867|0|Florida}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|9,177|41,003|0|Florida}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|5,368|25,989|0|Florida}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|6,096|19,038|0|Florida}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|16,919|9,316|454|Florida}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|3,291|5,908|2,177|Florida}} {{PresRow|1920|Democratic|6,628|13,650|979|Florida}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|1,339|5,456|1,162|Florida}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|243|3,514|912|Florida}} {{PresRow|1908|Democratic|641|2,381|540|Florida}} {{PresRow|1904|Democratic|671|2,011|381|Florida}} {{PresRow|1900|Democratic|773|1,857|158|Florida}} {{PresRow|1896|Democratic|1,462|1,903|329|Florida}} {{PresFoot|1892|Democratic|0|1,442|73|Florida}} {| align="left" border="2" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 1em 1em 1em 0; border: 1px #aaa solid; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 95%;" |+ '''Gubernatorial election results''' |- bgcolor=lightgrey !
