People always ask me where I live. The easiest explanation is to say “Jacksonville.” When I tell them I live in Green Cove Springs, I often get this confused look. Kind of between “Where’s that?” and “Why?”
Where’s that is south of Orange Park. No, not the Westside. Further south. And no, it’s not the same as Fleming Island. You have to go through Orange Park and Middleburg to get there. Green Cove is the epitome of a small town in the south. It is very conservative and church paring lots are always full on Sundays. We like it because it is quiet and away from it all.
I was recently given an assignment to complete a photo essay of what my Jacksonville looked like to me. Since I only go to the “big city” for work, I wanted to show you some of what makes Green Cove Springs…home.

Nice images – never knew there was a spring there, I’ll have to check it out!
I road the train from Jax to GC Springs when I was in Kindergarten. It was such a thrill. Thank you for sharing your town.
