Tucked between Fort Lauderdale and the Everglades, Plantation is a place whose character is shaped by the flat, canal-laced terrain of inland Broward County. Part of the greater Miami metropolitan area, it sits well away from the Atlantic shore, where drainage canals and broad boulevards structure a largely residential and commercial cityscape. Incorporated in 1953, Plantation grew with South Florida’s postwar development and is now one of the connected communities west of Fort Lauderdale. The Everglades remain the defining natural presence to the west, while the coast, Port Everglades and central Fort Lauderdale lie across the county.
