Offering visitors "Florida's Warmest Welcome," Pompano Beach offers the sun, the sea, and lots of sand to enjoy year-round. The area was once home to the Tequesta tribe. When Florida became a territory in the early 1800s., Pompano Beach remained secluded. The arrival of the first known settlers, George Butler and Frank Sheen, would change that. Legend has it that Sheen ate a meal of pompano fish one night, thus the city of Pompano was born.

The railroad prompted the population growth and led to the city's evolution. Incorporated in 1947, tropical conditions steadily drew people in. Even with the growth, the city still had a reputation as a snoozy town. In an attempt to revitalize the area, the city made some changes in the early 2000s.

Pompano Beach invested millions of dollars in their beaches and opened an art center. City leaders upgraded all aspects, from landscapes to public parking garages. Pompano Beach now offers endless shopping, fine dining, and an assortment of attractions.

Today, Pompano offers endless shopping, fine dining, and an assortment of attractions. Nature lovers can revel in the beauty at Butterfly World.
