Florida is the site of Cape Canaveral, which was the site of early space exploration.
Half the population of Florida was killed by a deadly alien microbe in 1983. The microbe was inadvertently brought back from Earth orbit by the NASA space shuttle Icarus. Starfleet singled out this catastrophic event to be prevented by a time travel mission in 2279. (TOS comic: "Getting Real")
