Oakland Park Audioguías

Nestled in the vibrant Broward County of Florida, Oakland Park boasts a history that reflects the evolution of a small community into a thriving suburban city. Its roots trace back to the land of lush green parks and rich flora, making it a delightful spot for travelers looking for a blend of culture, history, and modern-day charm.

Originally founded in the early 1920s, Oakland Park was established as a homestead and was initially known as “Vincent”, named after the area’s first landowner, Alfred G. Vincent. In 1925, the name changed to Oakland Park to reflect the abundant oak trees scattered throughout the region, and to better represent the growing community.
