DAVIE, FLORIDA
Davie's origins are rooted in the desire of its founders to live on the land far from bustling cities in an agricultural setting. Davie outgrew its agricultural origins, but unlike most cities it still maintains its rural roots. Today's Davie is a vibrant 33 square mile community in the heart of Broward County. Its mixture of expensive homes, citrus, cattle and horse farms, rodeos, busy commercial districts and growing educational center make it one of the unique cities in Broward County. In its efforts to preserve history, a special architectural style motif is modeled after the American West. Davie's western architectural facilities have allowed it to truly become the rodeo "capital" of the southeast. The original Davie rodeo arena itself dates back to 1946 when it was built by a few local cowboys and some neighborhood residents. The building of the arena was a cooperative effort because of the lack of funds. The man who produced the first Davie Rodeo in 1946, with only a handful of spectators hanging over the fence to watch, was Claude Tindall, a rodeo veteran and one of Florida's real cowboys. Today, thanks to the efforts of the community the Davie Arena on the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds is now a vibrant 72,000 square foot facility under roof with a seating capacity of 7,500. It hosts many concerts, the Florida Westfair and the Davie Pro Rodeo Series.
