Fort Lauderdale isn't very old. If you don't count the 5,000 years that native americans have come to Fort Lauderdale. Modern Fort Lauderdale started when Frank Stranahan established a trading post with the local Seminole indians around1895. Stranahan was in Florida to build a rock road through the South Florida wilderness. In 1896,the Florida East Coast Railway was extended south through Fort Lauderdale. Old Fort Lauderdale is where the railway crosses the New River.
