About location

The Atlantic Ocean defines the setting of Fort Lauderdale — its low, canal-cut coastal plain has shaped a city where waterways, highways and dense development sit close together. Interstate 95 forms a major north–south route through the metropolitan area, while drainage canals are part of the infrastructure that manages water across South Florida’s flat terrain. Downtown is organized around the New River, which joins the Intracoastal Waterway near the coast. Fort Lauderdale takes its name from a series of U.S. military forts established during the Second Seminole War. Marinas, beaches and a large boating economy have made the city one of Florida’s principal coastal urban centres.

The Atlantic Ocean is east of this dense metropolitan area, where canals and waterways shape the urban setting. In nearby Fort Lauderdale, the New River runs through downtown, and the Historic Stranahan House Museum recalls the area’s early settlement.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

Country United States

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
