 Dania High School, which had been a part of the Dania School founded in 1913 by the Dade County School Board, was renamed South Broward in 1938.Its name was appropriate considering that when Broward County was founded in 1915, it was effectively the only public school serving the southern half of the county.When a larger school was needed, the campus relocated to its present site at the corner of Federal Highway and Harding Street in 1949, and expanded northward not long after.
