Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Live Cam

On February 26, 1924, William F. Morang, an enterprising developer, purchased and platted the property of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea from Henry S. Moody and John C. Gregory.

Several years later, Melvin I. Anglin, a successful building contractor and real estate investor from Gary, Indiana, purchased the land platted by William Morang with the intention of developing a new town. Anglin served as the Town's first Mayor.

The Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea was originally incorporated on November 30, 1927. The incorporation was subsequently revoked in 1933 and then reincorporated in 1947 with the help of Charter Committee Chairman Glen Friedt Sr.

In 1997, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea celebrated its 50th anniversary. Due to its location on the Atlantic Ocean, the Town thrives as a tourist destination for visitors from around the world. Later this year, the Town's population will double with the annexation of the Intracoastal Beach Area, an area of unincorporated Broward County north of the Town's current municipal boundaries.
