    Twentieth Century Journey: A History of the City of Oakland Park Broward County Comprehensive Survey Phase XI By Paul S. George Copyright c. 1991 by Paul Sargis George All Rights Reserved Paul S. George, Manager, Historic Broward County Preservation Board, June 1991 1 Table of Contents Introduction Chapter One—In the Beginning—the Oakland Park Area in Early Times Chapter Two—The Early Oakland Park Community Chapter Three—Flamboyant Floranada Chapter Four—Oakland Park in Depression and War Chapter Five—A Postwar Boom, Oakland Park from 1945-1960 Chapter Six—A Generation of Change, Oakland Park Since 1960 2 Introduction In its twelve year existence, the Historic Broward County Preservation Board has identified, evaluated, protected, and interpreted Broward County’s historical resources. Moreover, each year since 1981, the Board’s manager has written and compiled a lengthy narrative history of one of Broward’s most significant communities. Hollywood, Dania, Davie, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Hallandale, Fort Lauderdale, and Oakland Park have served as subjects for developmental histories. In addition to a detailed history of the community of Oakland Park, the Broward County Comprehensive Survey Phase XII contains a listing of the city’s most historic structures, as well as a listing and description of each of the thirteen properties in Broward County that are listed on the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places, the official list of buildings, structures, sites, districts and objects that are considered significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, and culture, and deemed worthy of preservation. Although the number of such structures is relatively small, it is growing rapidly as Broward Countians are beginning to evince a strong awareness and appreciation for their historic built environment.
