Davie Wedding

Davie is a town in Broward County, Florida, USA. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 75,720. As of 2004, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 82,579.[1]

Davie was founded by a group of settlers composed of workers from the Panama Canal Zone. The original name of the town was Zona because of this. Randolph P. Davie, a developer, bought about 27,000 acres in the area and the town name was changed to "Davie." It was carved out of Everglades land that was mostly under water. The early history of the town was dominated by drainage issues, some of which persist today.

Davie has always had a reputation as a "Western" town. It boasts a huge horse owning population and once was home to many herds of cattle. In recent years commercial and residential development has discouraged such practices but Davie still tries to maintain what it has.

Pioneer City, a western theme park, was located across the street from Flamingo Gardens. It was built in the 1960's and close a few years later.

Davie is located at 26453N, 801649W (26.081426, -80.280223).GR1
