This navaid is in the United States. It has the same name and identifier as the Regional Airline-served airport nearby (and the city that it serves).
The name of the city refers to a body of water, and it was named that to attract businesses to the area.
There is a large U.S. Army base nearby.
A famous male vocalist, now deceased, named one of his albums after this city.
There are two VORs with this same name in different parts of the country. The other one is going to be decommissioned soon, sadly. THAT city, also with airline service, is named after THIS city!

This Navaid is in a suburb of a large U.S. city, which is a former airline hub. It's along a major east-west Jet Airway. It's named after the nearby small city, which is the county seat, and the county's name sounds like an old time car horn. That city is named after the middle name of a person whose last name is the same as the photographer. A Cook who marketed a type of canned food (its brand name is a simplified version of his name) is buried there. Coincidentally, the production facility for his product is located on the same Airway, about 200 miles to the east, on an arrival to a major airport.

This Navaid is located at a busy airport in the United States, and shares its name and identifier.
It was recently relocated (news media reported it as a "radar tower") a short distance to accommodate airport expansion, and was made a Doppler VOR at that time.
It's near an airport viewing area and an interstate highway.
The name of the city (and airport/VOR) refers to a military stockade which was in use during skirmishes with Native Americans.

The answer is Ft. Lauderdale (FLL). Thanks for playing!
It's named after the nearby town. The name itself is a bit of misnomer, as it's pretty flat there. But it IS one of the highest points in the state!
Two jet routes approach it from the west, one continues to the east, and that one stops 28nm later at a waypoint. It just stops! I hate to see that. Airspace redesign.
To the south is some extremely busy training airspace.
Its location in the state is that of a component of a kitchen implement.
