What makes Jackson County different: Marianna, the Jackson County seat in the Florida Panhandle, leans on a public-sector and agricultural economy — a federal correctional institution, state prison facilities, and the 100-bed Jackson Hospital (established 1939) are major employers. The county is still rebuilding from Hurricane Michael's 2018 direct hit.
