History
The first inhabitants of the land were Seminole Indians who arrived in
the 18th century. During the Second Seminole War, Major William
Lauderdale led his Tennessee Volunteers into the area and raised New
River Fort on the site of the modern city in 1838. In 1893, a young
Ohioan named Frank Stranahan arrived and built a house that served as the
first trading post, post office, bank and town hall of the area. The
house was built near the site of the New River Fort and still stands
today as a museum. Fort Lauderdale was officially incorporated as a town
in 1911 and began as a predominantly agricultural community, raising
dairy cows and citrus groves. The city and its surrounding suburbs have
experienced tremendous growth following the end of World War II.
In one of the city's worst traffic disasters, on March 17, 1993, an
Amtrak passenger train collided with a loaded Hess gasoline truck at the
Cypress Creek Road crossing of the CSX Railroad track in north Fort
Lauderdale. The truck was unable to move due to heavy rush hour traffic.
The collision and fire killed the truck driver and as well as five
motorists that were stopped at the crossing. Nobody on the train was
seriously injured.
