Plantation is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. As of the 2020 U.S. census, the population was 91,750. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area. The city's name comes from the previous part-owner of the land, the Everglades Plantation Company, and their unsuccessful attempts to establish a rice plantation in the area. In 1855, Florida state passed the Internal Improvement Act and established the Internal improvement Trust Fund, the trustees of which act as a government agency to oversee management, sale, and development of state land. In 1897, the Interior Department submitted 2.9 million acres to the Florida Land Office; however, the submission was revoked the following year, due to fears it would "impinge upon the rights and interests of the Seminole Tribes." The Seminole people regularly used the area for hunting, fishing and camping, and also used the nearby Pine Island Ridge as a headquarters during the second and third Seminole Wars. In 1899, Florida Governor William Sherman Jennings began an initiative to drain the everglades. In 1906, the first drainage attempts began in 1906, with the building and launching of two dredges into the New River. The first waterway opened after the drainage attempts was named The Holloway Canal, after Captain Holloway. In 1911, Bolles held a land lottery (known as the 'Progresso Land Auction') at $2024 per acre, granting farmland to anyone purchasing farmland of five acres or more in the drainage land. As a result, no auction took place and land remained under water.
History
Plantation is the primary city name, but also Fort Lauderdale, Ft Lauderdale are acceptable city names or spellings, Broward Mall on the other hand no longer accepted or obsolete and are no longer used as a designation. The official name is City of Plantation. Before the start of the twentieth century, the area that became Plantation was part of the Everglades wetlands, regularly covered by 23 feet of water. In 1897, the Interior Department submitted 2.9 million acres to the Florida Land Office; however, the submission was revoked the following year, due to fears it would "impinge upon the rights and interests of the Seminole Tribes" In 1899, Florida Governor William Sherman Jennings began an initiative to drain the everglades. In 1908, the Internal Improvement Fund trustees granted 500,000 acres (2,000 km²) of overflowed state lands at $2 per acre, with an agreement for the State to use 50% of the $1 million proceeds purely for drainage and reclamation. In 1911, Bolles held a land lottery (known as the 'Progresso Land Auction') at $2024 per acre, granting residential lots in the 'Town of Progresso' (now the area known as Wilton Manors) Bolles was arrested in December of that year, but was subsequently found innocent of any wrongdoing. In 1912, the North New River Canal opened, and the Sewell Lock No.1 was built on it. The first lock in Broward County, Florida, was the first one of the oldest lock in Florida, just outside of what is now Plantation. The new lock enabled access between the Ever glades and Lake Okeechobee by water. The Everglade Plantation Company was established in January 1909, following entry into a 2-year contract with the Internal improvement Fund trustees by Adam A. Boggs (attorney and Vice President of the Miami Bank and Trust Company) and A.B. Sanders (engineer) to create a rice plantation.
