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.
