Question: Which Florida city covers more total area than any other city in the contiguous United States?

Answer: Jacksonville, at 874.46 square miles total, thanks to the 1968 consolidation with Duval County. However, according to census data, on dry land alone Jacksonville has 747.26 square miles and loses to Tribune/Greeley County, Kansas at 777.41. Jacksonville only takes the title once you count its 127.19 square miles of water, most of it the St. Johns.
