Fort. Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, on the Atlantic coast. It is the county seat of Broward County. According to 2007 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the city had a population of 183,606. It is a principal city of the South Florida metropolitan area, which is home to over 5,413,212 people. The city is a popular tourist destination, with 10.35 million visitors in 2006. Fort Lauderdale is sometimes known as the "Venice of America" because of its expansive and intricate canal system. The city is a major yachting center, with 42,000 resident yachts and 100 marinas and boatyards. The city sits 23 miles north of Miami, Florida. Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area host over 4100 restaurants and 120 nightclubs. Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale, who was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend, in what is now known as the Sailboat Bend neighborhood, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina. The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than a thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases to which the native populations possessed no resistance, such as smallpox. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries.

Comment : The packing crew came late the first day and for one of them it was the first time on the job. He had obviously no training and packed very expensive items on an expensive table which he scratched. After they left I noticed that the top of one of the boxes was bulging, indicating that it was over packed. The next day when a different crew showed up I pointed this out to them and they told me it was his first day on the job and I mentioned that I was worried about the items inside the box. They removed some of the items so that it was packed level. After they truck was unloaded at the new Florida location and I started unpacking my items I noticed that many item was damaged. All these items had been packed by the same untrained person. After about five month and very little response I received a check for about ONE percent of the value I claimed. Their response was as good as none, phone calls and email went mostly unanswered. The really don't care about you the customer, but are purely money motivated. Please dont use them, I lost thousand as well as items that cant be replaced. On a positive note the packing crew of the second day was better and the crew that unloaded the truck was better even though they damaged some of my interior wall. They claimed they paid the max of their liability, .1 percent of the damage Irresponsible
