Lifestyle
Fort Lauderdale, known as the "Venice of America" due to its expansive and intricate canal system, is the county seat of Broward County, Florida, and a vibrant part of the South Florida metropolitan area, which is home to over 5 million people. With a mild tropical climate, you'll enjoy outdoor recreation, the arts and entertainment, fishing, golf, and balmy temperatures throughout the winter months.

The city is a popular tourist destination, but also attracts thousands of families who call Fort Lauderdale home year around. It is a major yachting center, with 42,000 resident yachts and 100 marinas and boatyards. Deep sea fishing and water sports abound off the shores of Fort Lauderdale Beach. A favorite pass time is hopping aboard boat or yacht for a late afternoon dinner cruise up or down the Intracoastal Waterway, where any number of wonderful eateries and watering holes await. Restaurants featuring fresh seafood, island cuisines from around the Caribbean, and diverse offerings both casual and elegant provide dockage as well as valet parking. Fort Lauderdale and its surrounding areas take dining seriously, with over 4,000 restaurants from which to choose.

History
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend in what is now known as the Sailboat Bend neighborhood, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale, the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort.

Culture
As is true of many parts of Florida, Fort Lauderdale's population has seasonal variations, as snowbirds from the north spend the winter and early spring in Florida. The arts and cultural scenes are particularly alive during these months. Fort Lauderdale's arts and entertainment district runs east-west along Las Olas Boulevard, from the beach to the heart of downtown. The district is anchored in the west by the Broward Center for the Performing Arts – home to Broadway touring shows, concerts, and more – and runs through the city to the intersection of Las Olas and A1A, "ground zero" of Fort Lauderdale Beach. The Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art houses a myriad of collections and hosts exhibits from around the world. Children of all ages enjoy the Museum of Discovery and Science with its IMAX 3D Theater.

Enjoy evening strolls along the Downtown Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk or visit Fort Lauderdale's historic museum homes – Bonnet House and Stranahan House. The city also hosts numerous arts events like the Las Olas National Art Festival, the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, and the Las Olas Wine & Food Festival. No matter what your taste in art, music, or entertainment might be, there is always something interesting happening here in sunny Fort Lauderdale.

Sites of Interest
In addition to museums, beaches, marinas, dining, and nightlife, Fort Lauderdale is home to many family-friendly attractions and fun things to do. The International Swimming Hall of Fame is located on Fort Lauderdale beach and houses a large aquatic complex as well as a museum, theater, and research library. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park is a 180-acre park along the beach, with nature trails, camping and picnicking areas, and canoeing. The park features the Terramar Visitor Center with exhibits about the ecosystem of the park. And every kid, big or small, has as great time aboard the Jungle Queen Riverboat tour. View beautiful Fort Lauderdale homes along the New River from the water.

A stroll down this charming avenue yields treasures from beach wear to ball gowns.
