Hollywood, FL boasts over 130,000 residents. Nestled between Fort Lauderdale and Miami Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International Airport is right outside the city, as well as Port Everglades, the second busiest cruise port in the world. The city extends from the coastline with its bustling boardwalk to several miles west of the turnpike.

Joseph Young the founder of Hollywood first arrived in South Florida in January 1920 to build his "Dream City in Florida." Having formerly lived in California, Young chose to name the town after the Southern California town that had once been so attractive to him. During this period, construction along Hollywood Beach was rapidly transforming the coastline. Construction was underway on the Hollywood Boardwalk, a unique cement promenade, thirty feet wide, stretching along the shoreline for a distance of one-and-a-half miles and patterned after Atlantic City's famed boardwalk.

Young's vision of his "Dream City" included one last inspiration. His idea was to dredge a deep-water seaport from the shallow lake north of Hollywood to the Atlantic Ocean, so that ships from around the world could dock and disembark eager visitors and tourists to Hollywood. In February 1928, Young's vision became a reality. The present day Port Everglades grew from a shallow lake into one of the busiest seaports in Florida.

Voted one of "The 100 best Places to Live" by Money Magazine, the city of Hollywood is located on the South Eastern tip of Broward County. Extending from the beach to west of the turnpike. Hollywood takes pride in its racial diversity, cultural variety, and blend of the old and young. From its formal incorporation by adoption of a municipal charter on November 28, 1925, the City of Hollywood has transformed itself. Beginning as an undeveloped tract of pine forests, palmetto plants, and tangled undergrowth interspersed with tomato farms and low lying marshland, it has become the second-most populated city in Broward County and the ninth largest city in the State of Florida.

Hollywood prides itself on several nature preserves, parks, and cultural attractions including the Anne Kolb Nature Center located in West Lake, a subdivision. The center boasts over 1,500 acres of mangrove preserves and is the site of a protected bird rookery and sanctuary as well as a fish nursery ground. On Hollywood's North Beach, a sea turtle hatchery and preserve has been developed. The historic downtown arts district, along Harrison Street, and the Hollywood Art & Culture Center have become centers of activity in the cultural arts and entertainment communities of South Florida.

Hollywood is to the finest nightlife restaurants and boutiques Broward County has to offer. Hollywood also offers proximity to a host of recreational activities including: Fort Lauderdale Children's Museum, Broward Performing Arts Center, The Fort Lauderdale Art Museum, Aventura Mall and much more.
