What would you say have been the largest ethnic influences on Broward County?..and how?

For example, Italian or Cuban or even Colombian or Irish, who knows...whatever...either now or historically...

Maybe Hispanics, followed by Italians from NJ?

Broward County is a very non-ethnic place. Everyone kind of just fits/mixes in. There are not very many ethnic neighborhoods here. You don't have any Little Havanas, Little Haities, Chinatowns, or Little Italys. Everyone just blends into the same neighborhoods. The African American neighborhoods in central Broward would probably be the closest thing to that.

In Broward County, there's really no ethnic neighborhoods, it's really diverse with people from everyone, mixing in like others have said. There are definitely a lot of Italians and the Irish in Broward, they make up the largest group of a certain ethnicity. In Miami, you've got Little Havana, Little Haiti, Little Managua and other neighborhoods that are predominately White non-Hispanic and Black, such as Liberty City. Overall though, Miami is pretty mixed too.

I agree with this more than the others, although it's important to note that those central Broward neighborhoods are VERY Jamaican/Haitian/West Indian oriented. You also have some other small concentrated "pockets", like the Central American barrio in SW Ft. Lauderdale, Brazilians in Deerfield Beach, another black West Indian pocket in east Miramar, and that's all I can really think of off of the top of my head. All and all, not many really notice or care about "ethnicity" though, and it's hard to point any major ethnic "influence" aside from some historic African American and some modern West Indian influence.

The only "real Thing" is Piola Pizzeria on Hallandale Blvd just east of US1. The others are not Italian pizzas, not even close to the real thing.
