Historic Davie

Settled in the late 1800s, Historic Davie provides an old western town charm to South Florida living. The restored Davie School is a point of pride for residents and visitors who like to imagine what life was like for Florida’s early settlers and agricultural workers. Many Davie roads still bear seminole names, with streets like O-ka-tee (Big Town) and Ee-chit-tee reminded residents of those who came before them.The historic neighborhood comes alive each March during the annual Davie Orange Blossom Festival. Families and groups flock to see the parade floats pass beneath blooming orange trees while live bands and entertainment fill the streets. Make sure to visit the R. Hardy Matheson Preserve to explore a natural Florida habitat that would be familiar to Davie’s earliest residents. The hiking and biking trails wind through pine flatwoods and tropical hammocks.
