History

Deerfield Beach has a long history dating back to the early 1800s.

The area formally incorporated as the town of Deerfield Beach in 1925 with a population of less than 500 residents.

In the 1950s, Deerfield Beach launched a campaign to become a tourist destination, touting its "tropical atmosphere" and "two miles of untouched beach." This helped transform Deerfield Beach into a popular vacation spot.

Today, Deerfield Beach is known for its miles of beautiful beaches, fishing pier, and beachfront parks like Quiet Waters Park.
