Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Lauderhill, FL

Lauderhill was incorporated on June 20, 1959, and its founding father was New York builder-developer Herbert Sadkin.

Lauderhill got its name from a joke: Sadkin planned to call the development 'Sunnydale', but his friend, New York Times columnist William Safire, objected that it sounded like a Brooklyn neighborhood and quipped that while there were no hills in the new town, 'there are probably no dales in Lauderdale, either' - and the name Lauderhill was coined from that exchange.

Lauderhill's first homes were off-the-shelf designs by architect Andrew Geller that had been displayed to the public at Macy's department store in New York and as the 'Typical American House' at the 1959 American Exhibition in Moscow.

Lauderhill had a population of 74,482 in the 2020 Census, making it one of the principal cities of the Miami metropolitan area in central Broward County.

The Lauderhill Mall, which opened in 1966, was the first enclosed, air-conditioned shopping mall in the southeastern United States.

Lauderhill's Inverrary neighborhood was a famous retirement and snowbird enclave, and its country club hosted the Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic PGA golf tournament beginning in 1972; comedian Jackie Gleason built his final home on the course.

Central Broward Park in Lauderhill hosted a 2010 cricket match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka - the first international cricket match between full-member national teams ever played on American soil.

Lauderhill has a large Caribbean immigrant community: in the 2000 Census, about 33.65% of residents were born outside the United States, and 14.73% were born in Jamaica alone.
