Located on Floridas Atlantic Coast midway between Palm Beach and Miami, Pompano Beach marks the northern boundary of the Florida reef at the outlet from the Intracoastal Waterway to the ocean. Incorporated in 1908, the city is now home to more than 82,000 residents, who consider their community, with its historic buildings, pristine beaches, and comfortable lifestyle, the Gem of the Gold Coast.
The completion of the Pompano Canal in 1890 and the arrival of the Flagler Florida East Coast Railway in 1896 provided the basis for the early development around Lettuce Lake, now Lake Santa Barbara, and Pompano Beachs rich farmland attracted the areas first settlers.
