The first settlers in the Deerfield Beach area found an idyllic environment filled with swamps, dense vines, saw palmetto, wild fig trees, cabbage palms, and pine groves on the shores of the Hillsboro River, where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. Deer in the area were abundant, and residents named the city Deerfield after them. On June 22, 1898, the first post office opened to serve the 20 settlers who had constructed homes along the river. While some pineapples were grown in the area, northern residents begged for Deerfield tomatoes, which were shipped north on the Florida East Coast Railroad.
By 1925 when organizers incorporated the city, its population had grown to 1,300 people. Tourists started discovering the town after World War II. The Lions Club raised funds through barbecue dinners to build Pioneer Park and held the first Founders Day, an ongoing tradition ever since. In 1951, city officials sought to attract even more visitors to the city and changed the town's name to Deerfield Beach so that everyone would know that there was a fantastic beach to play on.
This community has grown to over 80,000 people. You will want to spend a day playing on its Blue Wave beach. Fish from the pier, surf north of the pier, and enjoy a game of volleyball on the sand court. After you work up an appetite, head to JB's On The Beach, SeaSide Subs, or the Patio Bar and Grill to get a bite to eat.
