The population was 24 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Lazy Lake village, Florida )〕 ==History== In 1946, a developer and contractor by the name of Hal Ratliff, began the process of building the community around an old rock quarry (which later was filled with water and became the village's artificial lake.) He had the help of architect Clinton Gamble, who designed the original homes, and financier and accountant Charles H. Lindfors, who initially bought the land. Ratliff's goal was to build a community that was low-key, with heavy forestry infrastructure, allowing neighbors to keep to themselves and have some anonymity. Lazy Lake received its name when a friend of Hal Ratliff remarked that the lake looked "so lazy and peaceful."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Municipal Directory: Village of Lazy Lake )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wilton Manors Historical Society Historic Notes, June 2008: Lazy Lake - Independent Village )〕 It is the smallest incorporated municipality in Broward County by population and by area. This low population was because the town originally had been composed of single family homes in a small housing development, with a lake named Lazy Lake, (its namesake,) in the middle of the houses surrounding it. The village started off with 13 homes on 13 acres (the maximum allowed by the charter.) The three homes of the three main founders of the village were the first to be built on the property, which was originally platted for a subdivision.〔〔 In 1995, residents agreed to place the entire village up for sale at $15 million, but nobody purchased it. It was on the market for two years, and Sue Carolyn Wise, their broker, even went on television news stations and shows like CNN and A Current Affair to help promote the sale. People such as OJ Simpson and a Kuwaiti prince were initially interested, but ultimately didn't buy the village. After the two years of trying to be sold, it came off the market, and the village decided not to have the broker's contract renewed.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Little piece of paradise is one of Broward County's best-kept secrets: Lazy Lake shuns the spotlight, despite the fact most people don't even know where it is )〕 During 2008, a few residents on the village's north side wanted to disincorporate, secede and get annexed and incorporated into the city of Wilton Manors. The reason this small movement failed was because most residents on the south part of the village wanted to remain a village, which was due largely in part because the mayor and most councilmembers at that time lived on the south side.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Some Lazy Lake residents hope to secede )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lazy Lake, Florida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
