About the place

Dania Beach grew from a modest Danish farming colony into a compact coastal transit hub marked by aviation corridors and antique dealers.

Early immigrant farmers founded the settlement under the name Modello before incorporating as Dania. A temporary merger with Hollywood dissolved after a severe hurricane crippled regional finances, prompting residents to re-establish an independent municipality. Because several sectors voted to stay with Hollywood, the town inherited fragmented, noncontinuous borders. Former tomato fields later yielded to Antique Row along Federal Highway.
