  • What's In A Name: Broward, Dade and Monroe Counties
    Apr 1 2026

    Every day we travel from Broward County to Miami-Dade County to Monroe County, but have you ever stopped to wonder why the counties have those names? I have. Come with me, your host Bill Monty, to Take a TALK Down Memory Lane and explore the origins of Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties in South Florida, tracing their names to key historical figures and events. From early U.S. territorial expansion to the Seminole Wars and the transformation of the Everglades, the episode connects the region’s geography to its deeper historical roots.

    Mentioned in This Episode: The Cooley Massacre

    It was a time like no other in recent memory. By the time it ended hundreds of thousands of college students were coming to Fort Lauderdale to spend their spring Break in the surf and the sun and living life to its fullest.

    Take a TALK down memory lane as we revisit a time of wet t-shirt contests, teeny-weeny bikini contests and the clubs that presented them.
