Fort Lauderdale, Florida Information
Fort Lauderdale was incorporated in 1911 and became the county seat of Broward County in 1915. Because of the 1960 movie Where the Boys Are, it became associated with the college spring break beach scene. However, it is now no longer the spring break destination it once was. It is more a tourist destination, a yachting center with 50,000 registered yachts, and a port for many cruise ships. Called the “Venice of America” because of its 300 miles of inland canals, it has 23 miles of beaches and is on the western corner of the Bermuda Triangle. Known for an average of 250 days of sunshine a year, there was actually some snowfall in the city in 1977.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida Details
The original inhabitants of the Fort Lauderdale area were the Tequesta Indians who lived there for two thousand years. Between conflict with the Calusa and the smallpox brought by the Spanish explorers, the Tequesta were virtually wiped out by 1763, when they moved to Cuba after Spain ceded Florida to Britain. After that the area was under the control of the United States, then the Confederate States of America, and finally back to the United States. However, real development did not start until 1896 after the completion of the Florida East Coast Railroad.
