General Information about Crestview

Crestview is a city in Okaloosa County, Florida, United States. Crestviews name was chosen because of its location on the peak of a long woodland range between the Yellow and Shoal rivers which flow almost parallel on the east and west side of the City.
It is the county seat of Okaloosa County.[3] With an elevation of 235 feet above sea level, it is one of the highest points in the state; it receives 65 inches of rainfall annually, the most of any city in the state of Florida. The town was once known as "the Icebox of Florida", due to it having the coldest winters in the state. Today it goes by a more popular nickname as the "Hub City" of Northwest Florida. According to the U.S Census estimates of 2005, the city had a population of 17,707; though the traffic seems to indicate many more. Crestview is one of Florida's fastest growing cities, and with all of the residential developments, shopping, and land area to grow, It has, as of July 2007, become the largest city in Okaloosa County. In 2007, Mayor Whitehurst, who had been mayor for nearly 20 years, finally resigned, leading to the inauguration of David Cadle. Cadle proved to be a dark horse, as he had just retired from directorship of the Big Red Machine, the local high school's band.
