US censuses (1870 is the first to have good details; 1910 has incorporation years; they're gone from 1920 but back in 1930)

1905 Florida census (doesn't have villages; were they not incorporated at that time?)

Broward County history

I went through the state laws from the 1860s through 1871 and from 1875 to 1911; most towns were probably under the general incorporation law.

"A diverting story is told of the little town of Aurantia, Florida. In 1917 it yielded to the clamor of its women citizens and granted them municipal suffrage. At the same time—not wishing to do things by halves—it voted into local office a full slate of feminine candidates, neglecting only to provide for the annual tax levy. Unaccustomed to the ways of government, the newly enfranchised candidates had failed to notice the fatal omission until the reins were in their hands. Then it was too late. No taxes could be raised until the next local election. The neophyte politicians had no choice but to finance the town's running expenses with voluntary contributions from its citizens, and serve without pay themselves. It is reported that one term was enough for the crestfallen ladies." (OCLC 1027453)
