City and
Destination Information
The following information was taken from the website of the city
of Fort Lauderdale. You can visit their website for additional information at
http://ci.ftlaud.fl.us.
Incorporated on March 27, 1911, the City of Fort Lauderdale is
situated on the southeast coast of Florida, centrally located between Miami and
Palm Beach. Encompassing more than 33 square miles with a population of nearly
167,000, Fort Lauderdale is the largest of Broward County's 30 municipalities
and the seventh largest city in Florida. Embraced by the Atlantic Ocean, New
River and a myriad of scenic inland waterways, Fort Lauderdale truly lives up to
its designation as the "Venice of America."
An advantageous economic climate is helping the City of Fort Lauderdale
establish itself as a world-class international business center and one of the
most desirable locations for new, expanding or relocating businesses. Once known
strictly as a tourism-based economy, Fort Lauderdale now supports a diverse
range of industries, including marine, manufacturing, finance, insurance, real
estate, high technology, avionics/aerospace, film and television production.
Fort Lauderdale also offers an outstanding quality of life,
highlighted by a semi-tropical climate, rich natural beauty and array of
cultural, entertainment and educational amenities. Blessed with over 3,000 hours
of sunshine each year and pleasant year-round ocean breezes, world-famous Fort
Lauderdale Beach offers premier opportunities for recreation, relaxation and
enjoyment. The picturesque Riverwalk serves as the cornerstone of the City's
arts, science, cultural and historic district which features the Broward Center
for the Performing Arts, Museum of Discovery and Science, Museum of Art and Old
Fort Lauderdale Village and Museum. Las Olas Boulevard has gained international
acclaim as Fort Lauderdale's centerpiece of fashion, fine dining and
entertainment. In addition, the City's downtown area is home to Broward
Community College, Florida Atlantic University, Florida International
University, the award-winning Broward County Main Library, federal, county and
school district offices.
Through the cooperative efforts of residents, businesses and
local government, Fort Lauderdale has evolved into a City that offers the best
of both worlds - an attractive business environment and an outstanding quality
of life. Fort Lauderdale is a great place to live, work and raise a family, and
the City looks forward to continuing to build upon its success to meet the
challenges of the 21st Century and beyond.
