As beach towns go in Florida, Dania Beach is small with just under 30,000 residents which makes Dania a perfect little town among the larger cities such as Plantation, Pembroke Pines and Ft. Lauderdale. Dania got its name from the Danish settlers who came from Chicago and Wisconsin. Originally named Modello, when the Town was incorporated in 1904, the Danes who lived their renamed it Dania. In 1999, Dania Beach became the official name after 100 years of being known as Dania. In the early 1900s, the city was known as “The Tomato Capital of the World.” As the tomato boom faded, the antique business began to take off and today, Dania has over 100 antique shops. Dania is famous for having the largest Jai alai fronton in the United States, the Dana Jai-Alai.
