Editing Oakland Park, Florida (section)

==History==
Originally named '''Floranada''' (a blend of [[Florida]] and [[Canada]]), the town was forced into [[bankruptcy]] after the [[1926 Miami hurricane|hurricane of 1926]]. When the municipality reincorporated, residents chose to make it a city and voted for the name Oakland Park.<ref name=OPHistory>{{cite web |url=http://www.oaklandparkfl.org/citygovernment/about/history.cfm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100219074015/http://www.oaklandparkfl.org/citygovernment/about/history.cfm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2010-02-19 |title=About Oakland Park: History |publisher=The City of Oakland Park |access-date=2015-01-02 }}</ref> The original boundaries went from the Atlantic Ocean, west to what is now [[U.S. Route 441 in Florida|U.S. 441]], and from the north fork of Middle River north to Cypress Creek Boulevard, but when the boundaries were reestablished, it was to approximately the west side of [[U.S. Route 1 in Florida|U.S. 1]], west to Northeast 3rd Avenue and the north fork of Middle River north to what is now Prospect Road. Over time, it has expanded to its current boundaries, mainly due to acquiring a few other areas, such as recent annexations of previously unincorporated neighborhoods of Twin Lakes South and [[North Andrews Gardens]].<ref name=OPHistory/>
