Located on the east side of the Intracoastal Waterway at SE 13th Street, Pompano Beach's Indian mound has attracted interest and speculation ever since settlers arrived in this area.

In the 1930s and 1940s, there were several professional and amateur archeological investigations of varying degrees of scholarship. Among the assertions was that the soil used to construct the mound was of a type found in Peru. Another claim was that giant skeletons were discovered that were the remains of "migratory Mongolians" from the 14th century.

The area was dedicated as Indian Mound Park in 1958, during Pompano Beach's Golden Jubilee.
