Our History
The City of Fort Lauderdale is named for a Second Seminole War fortification built on the banks of the New River in 1838. That year, Major William Lauderdale led a detachment of Tennessee Volunteers south along the east coast of Florida to capture Seminole agricultural lands and battle the elusive Indian warriors. Altogether, three forts named after Major Lauderdale would be constructed: the first at the fork of New River; the second at Tarpon Bend; and the largest on the beach at the site of Bahia Mar. None of the forts survive today.

Incorporated on March 27, 1911, encompassing approximately 36 square miles with an estimated population of 186,220, Fort Lauderdale is the largest of Broward County's 31 municipalities and one of the ten largest cities in Florida.
Tourism is Greater Fort Lauderdale’s second largest industry, accounting for more than 114,000 jobs. In 2013, more than 13 million visitors selected Greater Fort Lauderdale as their destination of choice and spent in excess of $10.6 billion. For every 85 visitors to Broward County, it is estimated that one job is created.
