Pompano Beach: Fishing Heritage and Redevelopment in Northern Broward
Pompano Beach takes its name from the pompano fish that once filled the waters off its coast. The city grew as a fishing and farming community through the early and mid-20th century before suburban development transformed most of its agricultural land. The Pompano Beach Pier, rebuilt after hurricane damage, remains a working fishing pier and a focal point for the beachfront area. Commercial fishing boats still operate out of the Hillsboro Inlet area at the city's northern edge.
A significant redevelopment effort has targeted the beachfront in recent years. Older motels and low-rise buildings have been replaced or are being replaced by condominium towers and mixed-use projects. The city has actively courted development along Atlantic Boulevard between the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean, attempting to reposition the beach area as an upscale destination. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater, an outdoor concert venue near the pier, was completed in 2019 as part of this effort.
Inland Pompano Beach has a different character. The western neighborhoods include lower-income residential areas, industrial zones, and the Isle Casino Racing, a harness racing track and casino. The Pompano Beach Air Park, a small general aviation airport, operates in the northwest section of the city. The population is diverse, with substantial Black, white, and Hispanic communities, and the economic profile ranges considerably from the beachfront condominiums to the inland rental housing.
