As with all vernacular regions South Florida has no official boundaries or status and is defined differently by different sources at different times a 2007 study of Florida's regions by Ary Lamme and Raymond K Oldakowski found that Floridians surveyed identified "South Florida" as comprising the southernmost sections of peninsular Florida That area includes the Miami metropolitan area (generally defined as Miami-Dade Broward and Palm Beach counties) the Florida Keys included in Monroe county and the interior region known as the Glades Additionally Southwest Florida representing the state's southern Gulf Coast has emerged as a directional vernacular region Some respondents from as far northwest as the southern Tampa Bay area identified their region as being in South Florida rather than Southwest or Central Florida However the University of South Florida founded in 1956 is located in Tampa at that time prior to the changes quickly brought by the Florida Constitution of 1968 south Florida was much less important politically and the term was used more loosely Tampa is not usually considered part of south Florida, Though spelled the same in English the Florida city's name has nothing to do with the Miami people who lived in a completely different part of North America.
