It is Florida's seventh-largest county in terms of land area, with 1,322.8 square miles. Broward County's urbanized area occupies 427.8 square miles of land. The largest portion of the county is the Conservation Area that extends west to border Collier County; the conservation area is 796.9 square miles and consists of wetlands, much of which are part of the Everglades National Park.

The earliest evidence of Native American settlement in the Miami region came from about 12,000 years ago. The first inhabitants settled on the banks of the Miami River, with the main villages on the northern banks; the inhabitants at the time of first European contact were the Tequesta people, who controlled much of southeastern Florida, including what is now Miami-Dade County, Broward County, the southern part of Palm Beach County. The Tequesta Indians fished and gathered the fruit and roots of plants for food, but did not practice any form of agriculture, they buried the small bones of the deceased with the rest of the body, put the larger bones in a box for the village people to see. The Tequesta are credited with making the Miami Circle. Although the area has been settled since about 1400 B. C. Broward County was founded on April 30, 1915, it was intended to be named Everglades County, but then-Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives Ion Farris amended the bill that established the county to name it in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, governor of Florida from 1905 to 1909.
Throughout his term as governor, Broward championed Everglades drainage and was remembered for his campaign to turn the Everglades into “useful land”. This opened up much of today's urban Broward County for development, first as agricultural land and as residential. A year before Broward became governor, Dania became the first incorporated community of what is now Broward County, followed by Pompano in 1908, Fort Lauderdale in 1911. In 1915, Palm Beach County and Dade County contributed nearly equal portions of land to create Broward County. Dixie Highway was completed through Broward County in 1915. In 1916, the settlement of "Zona" was renamed Davie in recognition of Robert P. Davie, a land developer who purchased a great deal of reclaimed Everglades land. Broward County began a huge development boom after its incorporation, with the first "tourist hotel", in Fort Lauderdale, opening in 1919. A year developers began dredging wetlands in the county to create island communities. 1925 was considered the peak of the Florida land boom with Davie, Deerfield and Hollywood all being incorporated.
By 1925, the boom was considered to have reached its peak, but the 1926 Miami hurricane caused economic depression in the county. In 1926, the Hollywood Seminole Indian Reservation was opened. In 1927, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea was incorporated. In 1928, the Bay Mabel Harbor was opened. In 1929, Merle Fogg Airport was dedicated. In 1939, Hillsboro Beach was incorporated. Gulfstream Park opened in Hallandale in 1939; the county saw another population and development boom post-World War II when the transformation from agricultural to urbanized residential area began. In 1947, Pompano merged with beach area to form the present day City of Pompano Beach. There was another boom between the late 1960s. In 1953, Lazy Lake, Fern Crest Village were incorporated. In 1955, Margate and Miramar were incorporated. In 1956, Lighthouse Point was incorporated and the Florida Turnpike was completed through Broward County. In 1957, Pembroke Park was incorporated. In 1959, Cooper City and Sea Ranch Lakes were incorporated.
In 1946 Dr. Von D. Mizell and black business owners petitioned the County Commission to make a county beach available to African Americans. Eight years a beach, today Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park, in Dania Beach, was made available, but there was no road to it until 1965. In the meantime and Eula Johnson, with supporters, deliberately violated the law on July 4, 1961, by wading into the water on Ft. Lauderdale beach; the legal process set in motion by this incident resulted in the desegregation of Broward County beaches in 1962. In 1960, the City of Pembroke Pines was incorporated; this same year marked the opening of Broward College. In 1961, Lauderdale Lakes and Sunrise were incorporated. In 1963, the cities of Coral Springs, North Lauderdale and Tamarac were all incorporated. In 1967, Coconut Creek was incorporated; the effects of a national recession hit the county in 1974 and the population growth slowed. This is from a peak growth percentage change of 297.9% which saw the population of Broward grow from 83,933 as of 1950 to 333,946 in 1960.
The population subsequently experienced an 85.7% population growth which brought the population to a total of 620,100 in 1970. The structure of the Broward County government was signed i
