Coming Soon: Fort Lauderdale COUNTY?

AP reports that Broward County, Florida's second most-populated and one of the most populated in the nation, is considering renaming itself after its county seat: Fort Lauderdale.

"When it comes to recognition, Fort Lauderdale has the juice literally and figuratively," the AP quotes Jordan Zimmerman, chairman of Fort Lauderdale-based Zimmerman Advertising. "Fort Lauderdale is seen as a major port, a major destination, a world class recreation area, ideal climate, an ideal life, a great place to do business."

The article notes that 15 years ago, Dade County (Florida's largest) changed its name to Miami-Dade, after its most famous city.
