Half of Florida’s dry counties are found in the Panhandle. There are a total of four dry counties, areas where the sale of alcohol is prohibited, in Florida. The two counties in the Panhandle are Washington and Liberty. Liberty County was created in 1855 and named after the American ideal of liberty; sadly, there are no Florida counties named freedom or equality to complete the ideal set. Washington, named after the first president of the USA, is only a partially dry county. For this specific county, partially dry means that alcohol cannot be bought or sold on Sunday within the city limits of Chipley. Vernon, Ebro, and Wausau are excluded from this ordinance.
