Plantation is an old-fashioned town of nice houses, neat landscaping, lots of
parks and programs for kids.
It also has a bustling business district and shopping core along University Drive
that includes the Broward Mall and a Macy's.
The 83,000 residents are served by ten public schools and 18 private schools,
as well as 37 parks and extensive recreation programs.
The city was founded by Frederick C. Peters, who bought 10,000 acres here for
an average of $25 an acre. The original settlers had grown to 475 by the time
the city was incorporated in 1953.
The name Plantation is thought to have come from the unofficial title for the
area in the early 1900s, stemming from an attempt to create a rice plantation
out west. The experiment failed. Another version of the city name's derivation
is that the developers wanted to build plantationlike homes on large parcels to
lure the wealthy of Fort Lauderdale out west.
The city, one of the oldest in West Broward, apparently capitalized on the name
several decades ago by building a brick City Hall with white pillars, reminiscent
of the Old South plantations.
Plantation's major employers include American Express, Citbank, Kemper Insurance,
Motorola, Florida Power & Light Co. and Westside Regional and Plantation General
hospitals.
One major political change occurred in 1999 when Mayor Frank Veltri, the top administrator
for 24 years, stepped down. Plantation has the only strong mayoral form of government
in Broward County. Five city commissioners are elected at-large and serve three-year
terms.
City Hall is at 400 NW 73rd Ave.
