A 1924 map of Pompano shows that most of the town's street names were different than those we use today. Some of the historic names of Pompano's east-west streets(current designation in parentheses):

Hillsboro Beach Boulevard (Atlantic Boulevard)
Florida Street (NE 1st Street)
Pacific Street (NW 1st Street)
Statler Avenue (MLK/Hammondville/NE 3rd Street)
Everglade Avenue (NE/NW 2nd Street)
School Street (NE 4th Street)
Rothro Avenue (NE 5th Street)
Isidro Avenue (NE/NW 6th Street)

As can be seen by the listing above, the designation of "street" or "avenue" did not indicate a directional orientation.

In the case of School Street and Rothro Avenue, these roads did not extend west of Dixie Highway.

Tomorrow we'll look at the historic names of Pompano's north-south roads.
