The city of Fort Lauderdale celebrated its centennial in 2011. The first inhabitants of the land were Seminole Indians who arrived in the 18th century. During the Second Seminole War, Major William Lauderdale led his Tennessee Volunteers into the area and raised New River Fort in 1838. In 1893, Frank Stranahan arrived and built a house that served as the first trading post, post office, bank and town hall of the area. Fort Lauderdale was officially incorporated as a town in 1911, and became the seat of newly formed Broward County. It began as a predominantly agricultural community of dairy farms and citrus groves.

The most popular section of Fort Lauderdale Beach, or The Strip, is where A1A runs between Las Olas Blvd. North to Sunrise Blvd. The landscaped beachfront promenade, with its signature white wave wall and brick paved path, was a popular spring break destination from the 1950’s to the mid 1980’s, but the rowdy bars and hotels have been slowly displaced by luxury condos.
