Many current Pompano Beach residents do not recognize the name Monticello Park, but at one time it had some of the highest residential land prices in the city. Using today's street names, Monticello Park is bounded by Dixie Highway on the east, NW 12th Street on the north, NW 2nd Avenue on the west and NW 10th Street on the south (although the area south to NW 8th Street was often considered to be the same neighborhood).

In the 1920s, one would have found the following street names within that area (current names in parentheses):

Mianus Avenue (NW 8th Street)
Ardsley Avenue (NW 9th Street)
Indiana Avenue (NW 10th Street)
Illinois Avenue (NW 11th Street
Ohio Avenue (NW 12th Street)
Wilson Avenue (NW 1st Avenue)
Ralston Avenue (NW 2nd Avenue)

South of Monticello Park, Ralston Avenue became Tuttle Street. Also south of Monticello Park was Division Avenue (NW 7th Street).

We will extend our look at Pompano's historic street names one more day -- tomorrow we'll conclude with the streets east of Dixie Highway and north of today's NE 4th Street.
