Deerfield Beach is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. Located 40 miles (64 km) north of Miami, it is a principal city in the Miami metropolitan area in South Florida, which was home to 6.14 million people in 2020. As of the 2020 census, the population was 86,859,[4] making it the tenth-largest city in Broward County and the 13th-largest city in the Miami metropolitan area. The city is bound by the Hillsboro River and Boca Raton to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Coconut Creek to the west and Pompano Beach to the south.

The city's contemporary history dates back to the late 19th century with the construction of the Florida East Coast Railway in 1896, built by Henry Flagler. The city's first post office was established in 1898, and on June 11, 1925, the city was incorporated as the Town of Deerfield.[7] The city grew very rapidly in the mid-20th century, particularly between 1950 and 1980, as new neighborhoods were built. The city has continued to grow since, and as of 2024 has an estimated population of 90,507.[5]

The city is known for its beaches and pier on Deerfield Beach Island, as well as its parks, particularly the botanical gardens of the Deerfield Beach Arboretum and Quiet Waters Park.

History

[edit]

Deerfield Beach's history dates to 1890, when a small settlement named Hillsborough was developed along the Hillsboro River. As the population grew to 20 by 1898, the settlement was now served by its own post office and the town was named Deerfield for the deer that grazed along the river.

By the early 20th century, as the town's population continued to grow, the Florida East Coast Railroad constructed tracks en route to Miami bisecting Deerfield. Deerfield's early settlers were mostly farmers who grew pineapples, tomatoes, green beans, squash and fished along the Intracoastal Waterway. Deerfield remained a largely agricultural community, but in 1939 the town's name was changed to Deerfield Beach to let tourists know it has a beach.[8] In 1952, the original Deerfield Beach Pier was built of wood.[9]

Many of the city's oldest structures, mostly built in the 1920s, are built in a Spanish Mediterranean Revival style, a traditionally popular architectural style in South Florida.[10]
