Broward County is a county located in the U.S. state of Florida. As of 2016, the population is around1.9 million; this makes it the second most populated county in the state. Broward County was created in 1915. It was named for Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, Governor of Florida from 1905 to 1909. In 1915, Palm Beach County and Dade County contributed nearly equal portions of land to create Broward County. By the 1960s, Broward County was considered a leader in agriculture products and services within the State of Florida. The massive buildup of the South Florida region since the mid 1970s transformed the region, evidenced by the closure of the last major agriculture center within the county. In 2002, it began an aggressive campaign of placing surveillance cameras along highways and traffic lights.
