Andytown, Florida

Andytown, Florida, was a town located in Broward County at the intersection of U.S. 27 and SR 84. It was demolished in 1979 in order to allow for the expansion of the Alligator Alley portion of Interstate 75. Andytown can be found on maps from the 1970's (and even 1980's, as it was years before they were updated). It still remains today on some online map services. MSN Maps, for instance, returns a map for a search of Andytown, FL.

Further evidence remains of Andytown just east of US 27 on Griffin Road; across the street from the cemetery is an FPL substation, named the "Andytown Substation". Additionally, in nearby Davie, a bar called Andy's Lounge and Package displays an old Andytown sign over their door. Nearby Andytown was another glorified truck stop called "Jo-Mo City" on U.S. 27.
