Since the 1500s, Pensacola has been ruled by five governments: the Spanish Empire, which first established a settlement in 1559; the French, who took control in the early 18th century; the British, who governed after the French and Indian War; Spain regained control in 1783; and finally, the United States, which took possession in 1821 following the Adams-Onís Treaty. Each of these powers contributed to the city's diverse cultural and historical legacy.

How has the relationship between state and local governments changed since the early 20th century?

Since the early 20th century, the relationship between state and local governments has evolved from a more hierarchical structure, where state governments held significant power over local affairs, to a more collaborative and interdependent dynamic. This shift has been influenced by factors such as urbanization, federal mandates, and the increasing complexity of governance, which have necessitated greater cooperation and coordination. Local governments have gained more autonomy and responsibilities, particularly in areas like education, public safety, and urban planning, while states often provide funding and regulatory frameworks. Overall, this evolution reflects a growing recognition of the importance of local governance in addressing community-specific needs.
