Produktbeschreibung
The motto E Vasitate Haec Urbs, or "Out of the Wilderness, This City," is more than just a saying when describing Plantation. The geographical area that was to become the city was covered by two to three feet of water at least six months of the year, and the early history of the area was dependent upon the vision of engineers creating a network of canals to make the land more conducive for agricultural and residential development. Located in Central Broward County just west of Fort Lauderdale, the City of Plantation was incorporated in April 1953. Today, it is a thriving municipality of 85,000 residents, 22 square miles in size, featuring tree-filled friendly neighborhoods, world-class recreational facilities, active clubs and civic organizations, and a diverse business community. The city maintains the hometown atmosphere that all residents value, creating a community where the grass is truly greener.
