 Broward County Florida
Broward County Florida, created in 1915, was named for Napoleon Bonaparte
Broward. Napoleon was the governor of Florida from 1905 to 1909. By the 1960s, Broward
County was considered a leader in agriculture products and services within
the State of Florida. The massive buildup of the South Florida region
since the mid 1970s transformed the region, evidenced by the closure of
the last major agriculture center within the county, Waldrep Dairy Farm,
in 2003. In 2002, it began an aggressive
campaign of placing surveillance cameras along highways and traffic
lights. As of 2000, the population is 1,623,018; this makes it the second
most populated county in the state. According to 2006 U.S. Census
estimates, its population had grown to 1,787,636. Its county seat is Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. Broward County is one of three counties that comprise
the South Florida metropolitan area.
