==History==

Beginning in 1950, US 23's southern terminus was extended into Florida approximately {{convert|319|mi|km}} south from [[Atlanta, Georgia]], to Jacksonville.<ref>{{Cite map|year=1952|publisher=[[Florida Department of Transportation]]|access-date=September 16, 2023|url=https://www.usends.com/uploads/7/5/0/3/75032313/6188613_orig.jpg ~~Florida Department of Transportation Map; 1952]~~}}</ref>

From 1956 until 1993, US 23 signs in Florida featured white numbering on a green shield.<ref>{{Cite map|access-date=September 16, 2023|year=1957|title=Official Florida Road Map|publisher=[[State Road Department of Florida]]|url=https://fdotwww.blob.core.windows.net/sitefinity/docs/default-source/co-gis/past_statemap/flstatemap1957.pdf?sfvrsn=8a85bb74_0 ~~Florida Department of Transportation Map; 1957 (includes official color coding for US Highways)]~~}}</ref> The "color-coding" of U.S. Highways by the [[Florida Department of Transportation]] was stopped when the state could no longer use federal funds to replace the signs with anything but the standard black-and-white version. Some green US 23 signs may still remain.
