The city’s name comes from the previous part-owner of the land, the Everglades Plantation Company, and their unsuccessful attempts to establish a rice plantation in the area.
In 1960, the city adopted the slogan “The Dream City”, including matching license plates. In 1963, its original motto, “From the Wilderness, this City”, was made official, with adoption of a corresponding city seal.
The City of Plantation embraces cultural equality, diversity, inclusion, equity and has many historic business-friendly neighborhoods. Plantation is rolling out the “Welcome to Plantation” welcome mat to new entrepreneurs, new startups, business founders, new residents and more value-added businesses.
In the spirit of many enterprising early settlers, local Plantation entrepreneurs have created business opportunities in the area. With the help of local business leaders, the demand for startup ventures and the need for more goods and services has ignited the spirit of business ownership in the Plantation community.
