Forman, Hamilton L.General Notes
Note
Notes: The tradition begins with Hamilton McLure Forman and his wife Blanche Collins. In 1910, when South Florida was more of a swamp than a paradise, the couple moved from Illinois to Broward County, where their first home was a tent and their neighbors were alligators, rattlesnakes, and cow-killing mosquitoes. The Forman family grew potatoes and vegetables on land that is now the site where Florida’s Turnpike intersects State Road 84.
When Charles Forman was born in 1914, an enterprising Hamilton McLure bought a cow to guarantee enough fresh milk for his newborn son. He then established Broward’s first dairy, building a customer base by handing out free samples in what is now downtown Fort Lauderdale, on the corner of Las Olas Boulevard and Andrews Avenue.Created By
