Count: 0 — No cities or towns in Florida begin with the letter X. Authoritative lists from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Florida Department of State, the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), and the Florida League of Cities contain no incorporated municipalities or widely used Census‑Designated Places that start with X. Note that the letter X is an uncommon initial for place names in English and Spanish usage within Florida, so its absence from official municipal rosters is expected rather than an oversight.
Expect this gap for clear historical and linguistic reasons. Florida place names mostly derive from English personal names, Spanish saints and geographic descriptors, and indigenous words that do not begin with X; those naming traditions rarely produce an initial X. Historical Spanish orthography sometimes used X in places elsewhere in the Americas, but that pattern did not produce any lasting municipal names in Florida. Use the U.S. Census Bureau, Florida Department of State, GNIS, and Florida League of Cities to verify any candidate names and avoid informal neighborhoods or marketing names that are not legally incorporated.
If you need alternatives, expand your search to places that contain the letter X anywhere in the name, or to unincorporated communities and neighborhood names (which may include branded or informal uses of X). Check adjacent letters in an A–Z municipal list (W, Y, Z) or consult downloadable CSVs from the Census and GNIS for programmatic checks. Update and verify annually to catch any rare future incorporations that might begin with X.
