It was part of the National Auto Trail system, and grew out of an earlier Miami to Montreal highway.

It was constructed and expanded from 1915 to 1927. • In Broward County, Dixie Highway passes by the following cities: Hallandale Beach (39,500), Hollywood (152,000), Dania Beach (31,400), Fort Lauderdale (179,000), Oakland Park (44,300), Pompano Beach (106,000) and Deerfield Beach (79,800).
