History
Pompano Beach was first settled in 1900 and was established as a
city in 1947. The name of the city comes from the famous Pompano fish
which is found off the Atlantic coast. Pompano Beach went through a
boom in growth during the 1920's land boom and in the 50's population
reached 5,682 residents. Today Pompano Beach has several key programs
designated to rejuvinating rundown areas near the beach, which in turn
have made multi million dollar building booms.
