Broward County is Florida's 51^st county, established on April 30, 1915, from a segment of Dade County (Miami-Dade). It gains its name from Napoleon B. Broward, the Governor of Florida from 1905-1909. Fort Lauderdale, named after Major William Lauderdale of Tennessee, is the county seat. On March 5, 1838, the battalion he commanded during the Second Seminole War established a post, later given his name, on the New River.
