Although the FEC Railway tracks and Dixie Highway were considered the dividing line between back and white residences in Pompano, historically there were a number of exceptions.

Other than scattered families who lived west of town, there were at least two white residential neighborhoods west of the tracks: the area just south of Hammondville Road and west of Dixie Highway, and the Monticello Park neighborhood west of Dixie around NW 10th Street.

Black families lived east of the tracks in a few locations. The "Blount Quarters" were located near the current intersection of NE 5th Avenue and 10th Street and housed agricultural workers. The "Cap Campbell Quarters" were located similarly located east of the tracts off North Dixie Highway. Other black residents lived in housing provided by the FEC Railway for its section workers who helped maintain the tracks.
