About Oakland Park

The City of Oakland Park was officially founded in 1929 and has a rather interesting history. First named "Colohatchee," and soon after was called Floranda (a combination of Florida and Canada) and then finally Oakland Park because of the stately oak trees that adorned the shores of the Middle River. It has emerged from rural farming to a busy suburb. Today, it covers 8.1 square miles of land and has approximately 44,105 residents. The vintage appeal can still be felt within Oakland Park, having landmarks that include its ground zero school in Broward County, the Oakland Park Elementary School, and Jaco Pastorius Park, which stands right on the ground of the first permanent settlement within the city.
