Located in western Broward County, Davie is a diverse community with a family oriented, small town feel. Much of Davie is rural with a western and equestrian feel, yet Davie has many of the conveniences of the city nearby. Davie boasts numerous parks with miles of trails. The area offers outstanding higher educational opportunities.
History
Davie was founded by a group of settlers composed of workers from the Panama Canal Zone, which gave birth to this community's original name - Zona. The name was changed to Davie in honor of Randolph P. Davie, a developer, who bought about 27,000 acres in the area. It was carved out of Everglades land that was mostly under water. The early history of the town was dominated by drainage issues.
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. In recent years commercial and residential development has discouraged such practices but Davie still tries to maintain western feel.

As of the census for the year 2000, there were 75,720 people, 28,682 households, and 19,761 families residing in the city.
