Cooper City has adoped the motto “Someplace Special,” and has fulfilled that phrase since it was chosen as a Top-10 Town for Families by Family Circle Magazine. The city of about 30,000 residents is located in Broward County and affords commuters convenient access to nearby Fort Lauderdale. With a total area of less than 9 square miles, Cooper City was founded by Russian immigrant Morris Cooper, a businessman and developer who kept the community alive through economic hardships in the 1960s. The community is distinctive in its offering of outstanding cricket facilities, and has hosted major competitions featuring the U.S. cricket team.
Cooper City’s smaller-town lifestyle is a desirable one for many Floridians.
