Plantation, Broward County: Suburban Growth West of Fort Lauderdale
Plantation was incorporated in 1953 by Frederick Peters, who envisioned a master-planned residential community on former Everglades farmland west of Fort Lauderdale. Peters controlled the development through the Plantation Company, selecting lot sizes, architectural styles, and commercial placement in a way that was unusual for South Florida at the time. The city grew steadily through the second half of the 20th century and now has over 92,000 residents.
The Plantation Preserve Linear Trail and adjacent Plantation Heritage Park offer over 200 acres of green space in a county where open land is scarce. The linear trail follows a former railroad corridor and connects neighborhoods across the city. Volunteer Park, near the city center, hosts community events and sports facilities. Plantation sits along the Sawgrass Expressway and I-595, making it a convenient base for commuters working in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, or Boca Raton.
The DHL Americas headquarters operated out of Plantation for years, and the city continues to attract mid-sized corporate offices. Healthcare is provided by Plantation General Hospital. The Westfield Broward mall, formerly known as Broward Mall, draws shoppers from the western Broward corridor.
