Pompano Beach, the second oldest municipality in Broward County, was incorporated in 1908. Only Dania Beach is older (1904). Fort Lauderdale was not incorporated until 1911.

Pompano Beach is the only city in the county that has been incorporated in three counties -- Dade County (1908-9), Palm Beach County (1909-15) and Broward County (1915- ).

In order to plan for Pompano Beach's 100-year anniversary, a centennial celebration committee has been formed and is hard at work planning for the city's century mark. Currently the committee meets on the fourth Wednesday of the month, 6:30 PM, at the Dick & Miriam Hood Center (217 NE 4th Avenue, Pompano Beach).

We invite those who are interested in getting involved in planning for the centennial celebration to join the committee. For more information call the Historical Society at 954 782-3015.
