Tamarac: From Retirement Colony to Broward Suburb
Tamarac was founded in 1963 by developer Ken Behring, who built a retirement-oriented community on drained swampland in northwestern Broward County. The original concept centered on affordable single-family homes and condominiums marketed to retirees from the Northeast and Midwest. The city incorporated in 1963 and grew quickly through the 1970s, filling with snowbirds and permanent transplants who wanted warm weather and low property taxes.
The demographic profile has shifted considerably since the 1990s. Younger families and Caribbean immigrants have replaced a portion of the original retirement population. The average age has dropped, and schools that were once an afterthought in city planning now handle significant enrollment. Haitian, Jamaican, and other Caribbean communities have established a visible presence along Commercial Boulevard and McNab Road.
The city covers about 12 square miles with a population around 64,700. Most of the land is residential, a mix of original 1960s-era single-story homes, condominium complexes from the 1970s, and newer townhouse developments filling whatever parcels become available. The Tamarac Village shopping area along University Drive is the primary commercial zone. Woodmont Natural Area, a 50-acre wetland preserve, offers walking trails through cypress and oak hammock habitats.
