Broward County, County in southeastern Florida, US.
Description
Broward County is a subdivision in southeastern Florida that stretches along the Atlantic coastline and includes several cities as well as protected natural areas. Canals run through the territory, linking wetlands with urban centers positioned between the ocean and the Everglades.
History
The area was established in 1915 and named after a former governor who had promoted drainage projects in the Everglades. Development accelerated after World War II, when new communities formed and the coastline was built up.
Culture
Neighborhoods in the area carry names from different languages, reflecting the immigrant history of the region. Community festivals today showcase this diversity through music, food, and traditions that visitors can experience at public events.
Practical
Most public services and facilities are spread across several municipalities, so visitors head to different locations depending on their goal. Information about access, opening hours, and current conditions can be found at local visitor centers or online through the websites of individual cities.

The waterways in this territory are so extensive that some homes can only be reached by boat, with private canals serving as driveways. In certain neighborhoods, boat docks replace the usual garages, giving daily life a distinct character.
