When Broward County was formed in 1915, county commissioners were elected by districts, which virtually guaranteed that one of the commissioners would be from Pompano.

In response to rapid population growth, in 1973 the district system was scrapped and commissioners were elected countywide.

Below is a list of Pompano residents who served on the Broward County Commision, with the year they were first elected (or appointed), through 1973:

I. I. Hardy (1915)

George L. Blount (1916)

R. A. Hardin (1919)

John W. Walton (1921)

H. L. Lyons (1931)

Sylvester C. Fox (1935)

H. Vivian Saxon (1954)

Pompano Beach has sent at least two other residents to the county commission: J. W. "Bill" Stevens and Kristin Jacobs.
