Greater Fort Lauderdale, encompassing all of Broward County, hosted 13 million overnight visitors in 2018. There were over 560 hotels, and nearly 36,000 hotel rooms. From that, the county collected nearly $87 million from its 5% hotel development tax it charges.

Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782-1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. Development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict.
Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed: the first was at the fork of the New River, the second was at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the present-day Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third was near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.

Hi, is establishing a life in Miami hard ? How much will a software engineer make in average ?

[@4KTravelChannel]

It’s not that hard if you get a job offer ahead of time. A software engineer should be making 70-150K in South Florida

[@jonathan6480]

Would you have any suggestions on safe neighborhoods to look at? I am looking to move down in the Summer/Fall.

[@4KTravelChannel]

Victoria Park or Tarpon River are the best

Looks kind of dead on the streets.....Is it normally this empty? Was this in the early morning time or something

[@4KTravelChannel]

It was early afternoon. People were just chilling at home ))

[@carolerigney8779]

The title is downtown Ft. Lauderdale, but the video skips right past downtown, (?)

[@4KTravelChannel]

It's right downtown Fort Lauderdale

[@amirmurray9916]

Love fort lauderdale...i think it may be a little empty in this video..because of covid...

[@4KTravelChannel]

I think at this time of the day people are just chilling out at home

[@pawelpap9]

Would be nicer if the ride was continuous. Jumps make it confusing for those familiar with the city.

[@4KTravelChannel]

It's hard to make it continuous because of many factors

[@russiansquare]

Is it usually this empty? did people just disappeared ?

[@4KTravelChannel]

Hey, I noticed that too... Really strange... I think everyone is just chilling out in their swimming pool because of the heat...

[@pawelpap9]

No, they work. As most US cities downtown Ft Lauderdale has a fair share of offices, mainly banks, but also government. So during the day streets are empty, maybe with exception of lunch time. In addition if you are in a formal attire you don’t want to walk in hot weather.

[@HangNguyen-ih8rf]

I lived there for 4 years….I think city overbuilt ..so much building and places but not much people..almost like a ghost town😳
