Plantation, FloridaPlantation is a small city in Broward County, Florida. It is about 22 square miles and has a population of approximately 93,900 people as of 2017. A century ago, Plantation was part of the Everglades and covered in several feet of water. In the early 1900s, the area was drained and reclaimed. By 1909, the Everglades Plantation Company had a contract to attempt to form rice plantations in the area. It is this company that eventually led to the city’s name. Eventually, between the early 1930s and 1950s, the area was further developed into ranches, homes, and a small planned town.
The city was incorporated in April 1953 and has expanded ever since. It is considered a safe place to live and raise a family. The city was named one of the “100 Best Communities for Young People” by America’s Promise Alliance in 2008, 2010, and 2011.
While Plantation can seem like an ideal city in Southern Florida, it is plagued with traffic accidents like the rest of the state. Several major roadways run through the city including I-595 Expressway, the Florida Turnpike, N. State Road 7, State Highway 838/W. Sunset Blvd, State Highway 842/W. Broward Ave, State Highway 817/N. University Dr, State Highway 736/SW 12th Street, N. Pine Island Rd, N. Nob Hill Rd, and Hiatus Rd.
Commercial vehicles regularly use these and other smaller roads to traverse the city. You may share the road with semi-trucks and other large trucks regularly, and one day, you or a loved one may be the victim of a crash. In this situation, you should contact an experienced Plantation truck accident attorney from Gerson & Schwartz P.A.
