Life in Davie

Davie, Florida is a city filled with history.  It was first named Zona.  In 1909 a gentleman named Robert Parsell Davie, who was a developer, came into Zona and drained out the swamplands, which were filled with mosquitoes.  The people of the city were so thankful that they renamed the city Davie after the developer.  Davie is known to many as a "Western town," rather than a city because many people own horses and herd cattle.

Some popular attractions in Davie include the Flamingo Gardens, Miami Dolphins Training Facility, Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, Bamford Sports Complex, and Young At Art Museum. 

Now, Davie has become more city-like, and it not just a place filled with horses and cattle. Davie, in fact, is home to many small law offices.  Attorneys in Davie are very intelligent, and devoted to serving their community. 

All in all, if you are looking for a small town with a lot of love, hospitality, and a legal force presence, Davie is the place to be!
