People of the Tequesta culture lived in the Fort Lauderdale area for at least 2,000 years. By the 1830s about 70 settlers lived along the New River. William Cooley, who arrived in 1824, was the settlement's leader, a farmer, wrecker and justice of the peace who traded with the Seminoles. On January 6, 1836, while he was away salvaging a wreck, Seminoles attacked his farm and killed his wife, his children and their tutor. The other settlers fled to the Cape Florida Lighthouse and then to Key West.
The Army built a stockade named Fort Lauderdale in 1838. It was abandoned in 1842, and the area stayed empty until the 1890s. In 1893 Frank Stranahan began running a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad came through. Fort Lauderdale was incorporated in 1911 and became the seat of the new Broward County in 1915. The city boomed in the 1920s, then suffered from the 1926 hurricane and the Depression. In July 1935 Rubin Stacy, an African American man accused of robbing a white woman, was taken from police by a mob and hanged by about 100 white men near the scene.
