Mrs. Ollie Tinney comments on Pompano in 1914:

This is the only town on the East Coast that is not made up principally of Northern people. There are no Northern people in the place except for the barber, who has moved here during the past two months. The population consists of Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Carolina people. The barber came from Philadelphia.
