Davie is a town in Broward County, Florida. Davie was founded by a group of settlers composed of workers from the Panama Canal Zone and that’s why the original name of the town was “Zona”. Randolph P. Davie, a developer, bought about 27,000 acres in the area and the town name was changed to Davie. It was carved out of Everglades land that was mostly under water.

Davie has always had a reputation as a “Western” town. It boasts a huge horse owning population and once was home to many herds of cattle. Davie, a family-oriented and diverse community of over 80,000 that retains its hometown feeling, is a unique jewel in central Broward County that treasures its environment, rural and equestrian lifestyle. Davie is also home of several nationally known colleges, technical institutes, and universities.
