Broward County FL History
Broward County Florida was created back in 1915. It was named for Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, Governor of Florida from 1905 to 1909. In 1915, Palm Beach County and Miami Dade County contributed nearly equal portions of land to create Broward County. By the 1960s, Broward County Florida 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 south Florida region, evidenced by the closure of the last major agriculture center within the county (Waldrep Dairy Farm) in 2003. Broward County was one of the counties at the center of the 2000 U.S. Presidential election recount controversy. In 2002 Broward County it began an aggressive campaign of placing surveillance cameras along highways and traffic lights. Critics contend the cameras violate drivers' due process rights and two separate lawsuits have been filed over their use, one in Aventura filed in February, and one in Temple Terrace near Tampa, filed at the end of July.
