Fort Lauderdale is a city in south Florida, and is the seat of Broward County. The city's population is around 185,000.
Downtown Fort Lauderdale is on the New River, where the town originally began. Fort Lauderdale was named after three forts built along the New River during the Second Seminole War. Downtown is in between the location of two of these three forts, which no longer exist.
Downtown has been the home of a few notable corporations. In the last decade or so, highrise condominiums have been built in Downtown, much like in many other cities' central business district. Condominiums are mainly concentrated along the New River and other, smaller waterways. After some time where Downtown was overshadowed by Fort Lauderdale's beachfront neighborhoods, redevelopment in Downtown has made the business district a destination for area residents.
