In 1915; the South Florida communities of Fort Lauderdale; Dania; Pompano; Hallandale; Deerfield; and Davie joined together to form a county. They named it Broward; in honor of the governor whose Everglades drainage program had brought them such prosperity. Today; Broward is Floridas second largest county; with 1.6 million people. Photographer Aaron Eugene Hyde came to Fort Lauderdale in 1933; at the age of 16; to begin a 40-year career; serving as one of the countys few professional photographers and the photographer for the Broward edition of the Miami Herald. Gene recorded fascinating people; places; and times pivotal in the countys development. His photos evoke nostalgia for the not-that-distant past; a way of life Broward County residents will never see again.
