## Fun facts

* Politically, not only is Broward the biggest Democrat stronghold in Florida, but also one of the biggest in the United States. Safe to say that if Broward County didn't exist, Florida wouldn't be competitive in elections. Or, at least, not as competitive.
* Rapid population growth kicked off during the 1940s.
* Area-wise, most of the county lies within the Everglades and the Miccosukee Reservation.
* Broward approved the construction of Osborne Reef, an artificial reef made of tires off the Fort Lauderdale beach, but it has proven an environmental disaster.
* The 3.2-mile strip along Florida State Road A1A is officially known as "Hillsboro Mile" in Hillsboro Beach's boundaries, and it's the only main road in town. Because this is the only main public road, it is aligned with the residents' mansions and commonly called "Millionaires' Mile" by both local residents and visitors alike.
* Until August 2018, Lazy Lake prohibited Electric-type Pokemon from residing within its limits.
* All of the county's CDPs are extensions of other cities.
