Footnotes ...
| <1> | If you're interested in how the shape of Florida's counties, including Broward, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. |
| <2> | Area code (754) is an overlay for area code (954). |
| <3> | ZIP Codes have been created by the United States Postal Service (USPS) as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. The boundaries of the ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other ZIP Codes. So keep in mind that any given ZIP Code is only 'loosely' associated with a city (such as Dania). When looking for a ZIP Code, whether Dania or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the United States Postal Service (USPS). |
