History of Plantation, Florida

The city's name comes from the prior owner of the land, the Everglades Plantation Company. The official motto of Plantation is "The Grass is Greener." Plantation also suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Wilma on October 24, 2005.

Plantation City Hall was the backdrop for part of the film, There's Something About Mary.

Plantation is also home to two malls, both across the street from one another: the Broward Mall (south of Broward Boulevard), and the Fashion Mall (North of Broward.) As of April 11th, 2007 the Fashion Mall/Executive Pavillion has closed down.
