The City of Oakland Park, located in the geographic center of South Florida, was incorporated as the City of Floranada in 1925. Four years later, it became known as the City of Oakland Park.
Since those early years, the City -- named for the massive oaks that lined the Middle River -- has become a prosperous community that still possesses the cherished values from long ago, but has combined them with a vigorous new City spirit ("Hometown Choice") to make a safe, friendly haven for families and businesses alike.
Oakland Park was the first municipality in Florida to organize a public safety department and the first City in the State to initiate a recycling program.
