The first structure in the swampy land of east central Broward County was a wooden fort named after Tennessee Volunteer Major William Lauderdale. After the Seminole Wars, the fort was left to rot, of use only to runaway slaves and army deserters. It wasn't until Charles Green Rhodes developed a plan to dredge parallel canals with long peninsulas between them that the area became suitable for development. The "Venice of America" that was Fort Lauderdale was then able to grow. Flagler's railroad followed, and the rest, as they say, is history.
