The City of Oakland Park, located in the geographic center of South Florida, was incorporated as the City of Floranada in 1925. Four years later, it became known as the City of Oakland Park.

The Dr. Carter G. Woodson Festival was established in 2006 to provide the Oakland Park community with festival honoring the historical significance of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, an African-American historian, author, journalist and the founder of Negro History Week, which became Black History Month.
