About Pompano

Pompano Beach is a small little town which it's name was derived from the Florida Pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) a fish that was found off the Atlantic coast. In 1896 George Butler and Frank Sheen and their families were the first documented permanent residents of Pompano, who arrived there as railway employees. Back in July of 1908 a municipality was incorporated what was then know as Dade County to "the Town of Pompano" and John R. Mizell was then elected at the time as the first mayor.

Pompano Beach holds several annual cultural events including the Pompano Beach Seafood Festival, St. Patrick's Irish Festival, St. Coleman's Italian Festival, the Pompano Beach Holiday Boat Parade and many more. There are several museums filled with the history of Pompano and wonderful art centers and gallery.
