Untitled[edit]

In terms of demographics, this is one of the few "Southern" towns you will find in South Florida. It is probably one of the only places south of Lake Okeechobee where you will find a large number of people listening to country music. It is also home to a lot of non-polo and non-racing equestrian activity. They used to have bumper stickers that said: "If you're heart aint in Dixie, then get your ass out of Davie."

What year was davie founded? this should be included. Butnotthehippo 01:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate error[edit]

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for


—99.121.2.116 (talk) 23:37, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. The coordinates given in the article appear to be roughly in the center of the town of Davie. The original settlement (as shown on the USGS topo map) seems to have been a bit to the southeast, but the limits of the town are seemingly a good deal broader currently. If you have specific objections to the coordinates shown in the article, please repost the {{geodata-check}} template on this page and explain them in detail.

Orphaned references in Davie, Florida[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Davie, Florida's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "goggintequesta":

  • From Everglades: Goggin, John (1940). "The Tekesta Indians of Southern Florida". The Florida Historical Quarterly. 18 (4): 274–285.
  • From Indigenous people of the Everglades region: Goggin, John (April 1940). "The Tekesta Indians of Southern Florida", The Florida Historical Quarterly, 18 (4), p. 274–285.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:09, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most populous town[edit]

@DhiMinusGan: With this edit you added that Davie is "the most largest town in Florida by population and third most populous town in the US after Gilbert, Arizona and Cary, North Carolina". What was your source to support this? Magnolia677 (talk) 12:32, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, @Magnolia677! I don't have a website (though I already knew Gilbert & Cary were part of the top 3 highest populated towns in the US from articles I've read over the years), but what I did was go through "Lists of populated places in the United States" on here & sorted the towns that were ~45,000+ for each state & this was the outcome:
1. Gilbert, AZ = 208,453
2. Cary, NC = 180,388
3. Davie, FL = 105,691
4. Mount Pleasant, SC = 90,801
5. Cicero, IL = 83,891
6. Flower Mound, TX = 78,486
7. West Hartford, CT = 64,083
8. Brookline, MA = 63,191
9. Plymouth, MA = 61,217
10. Jupiter, FL = 61,047
11. Smyrna, TN = 53,070
12. Collierville, TN = 51,324
13. West New York, NJ = 49,708
14. Leesburg, VA = 48,250
15. Blacksburg, VA = 44,826
(Please note that "towns" in NY don't correspond to the traditional definition of what we know as a town, as they're actually a collection of many incorporated villages & hamlets from each county who have their own municipal governments.) DhiMinusGan (talk) 10:32, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DhiMinusGan: Lists of populated places in the United States doesn't have any numbers attached, so I'm not sure how you arrived at "third most populous town in the US". If you don't have a source to support your edit, it might be best to revert until you find one. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:54, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Magnolia677, I thought it was clear enough that DhiMinusGan went through sub-lists that are listed on the main list page to compile the data.
DhiMinusGan, I don't think this is a meaningful statistic. Every state defines municipalities of different sorts. They all differ from each other in what they call a "town" and how they distinguish towns from cities, townships, villages, boroughs, and so forth. For that reason, comparing sizes of things called "towns" across the states is rather like comparing apples, oranges, grapefruits, bananas, and yams. Largoplazo (talk)
I went state by state on "Lists of populated places in the United States" to determine those: from Alabama to Wyoming. That's how I got the numbers. I made a spreadsheet of all 50 states' town populations with 45,000+ people. Hopefully that clarifies what you wanted to know. DhiMinusGan (talk) 21:13, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
