Your fight is our fight.

A Brief History of Broward County

Broward County was created in 1915 from parts of Dade and Palm Beach counties, taking its name from Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, a Florida governor remembered for championing efforts to drain portions of the Everglades for agriculture and settlement.

Early development centered on farming in the drained Everglades muck lands and on the growth of Fort Lauderdale, which began as a small trading post along the New River before evolving into a resort town during the early twentieth century.

Rapid population growth followed the construction of new highways and rail links, transforming Broward from a sparsely settled agricultural county into one of Florida's most urbanized areas, as tourism and real estate development fueled decades of sustained expansion.

Broward County's Economy Today

Broward County today has a large and diversified economy anchored by tourism, with Fort Lauderdale's beaches, marinas, and cruise terminals drawing millions of visitors each year and supporting a substantial hospitality and service sector.

Port Everglades serves as a major hub for cruise ships and cargo shipping, supporting logistics, trade, and maritime employment, while the county also hosts a sizable finance, insurance, and professional services sector that has grown alongside its population.

Healthcare, education, and an expanding technology sector add further diversity to the county's employment base, alongside continued residential and commercial construction driven by ongoing population growth throughout South Florida.
