If you look on a map the northwest section of Florida is narrow and stands/sticks out. Its kind of like how a frying/cooking pan is built.
Founded as "Cowford" in 1791, because of the narrow point in the St. Johns River where cattlemen could Ford their livestock across; this was some 3000 feet west of the location of Fort San Nicolas.
Florida was named by Spanish conquistador Ponce de León, who was the first European to record its location, on April 2, 1513. He believed it to be a large island. He called it "La Florida" (flowery land) referring to the Easter season, which in Spanish is Pascua Florida.

Florida is actually called the Sunshine State, not the Peninsula State. However, the state of Florida is a peninsula, which is a body of land surrounded on three sides by water.
A peninsula is a piece of land with water on three sides, but attached to the mainland. Florida is connected to the mainland, but has water on the other three 'sides', making it a peninsula.
