History:
Those who first populated the area were attracted to its rich soil and mild temperatures. One of the early cash crops was pineapples. Competition from Caribbean and Hawaiian pineapple growers led most farmers to switch to growing tomatoes, which turned out to be more profitable. Farmers later discovered that beans, peppers and other winter vegetables were even more financially rewarding. Throughout the Great Depression, agriculture remained the economic mainstay of the community and continues to be a rich source of employment for its residents. Downtown Pompano came alive as farmers, brokers, railway agents and local residents congregated to make sure the crops got to market. However, as South Florida’s population began to grow, agricultural land in Pompano Beach was turned into housing developments and golf courses.
