BOCA RATON: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

Boca Raton started out as a small farming community that eventually developed into a cosmopolitan city. Here are some of the most significant events in local history that helped shape Boca Raton into one of the best places to live in South Florida.


Boca Raton’s early days

 

Although Boca Raton was settled by the Europeans in the late 1890s, the area has long been inhabited for at least a thousand years. Historical records suggest that Boca Raton’s earliest inhabitants were part of the Glades Culture and then the Tequesta Indians. They lived in the area until the completion of present-day Intracoastal Waterway was constructed in the 1890s which spurred the arrival of pioneering settlers. By this time, the area was indicated in the maps as Boca Raton.


Meet Addison Mizner

 

In no time at all, these first settlers established Boca Raton as a small agricultural community by the early 20th century, with the local speciality being pineapples. By 1920, the population increased to about 100 people which included Japanese immigrants.

 

They set up a small community located along today’s Yamato Road. But as Southern Florida continued to grow, Boca Raton slowly underwent a transformation from agricultural community to a dream resort city by architect Addison Mizner.

One of Addison Mizner’s first projects was the Ritz-Carlton Cloister Inn in 1926. Today, it is known as the Boca Raton Resort & Club. Mizner’s plans, however, weren’t fully realized as the land boom fizzled. In addition to the landmark hotel, Boca Raton’s Mediterranean Revival-style architecture is one of Mizner’s lasting and significant contributions.

 

During World War II, Boca Raton became one of the American forces’ military hubs. The Boca Raton Army Airfield was established and served an important role. It was the only place where radar operators were trained. Today, the Airfield is no more. Its grounds now serve as the campus of Florida Atlantic University and the runway is part of the Boca Raton Airport.

 

Another land boom

 

Boca Raton and the rest of South Florida enjoyed another land boom in the 1960s. As a result, the city grew even bigger. It was during this time that the Florida Atlantic University set its campus in Boca Raton. IBM also moved one of its computer facilities in the city in 1967. By the 1970s, the population grew to about 30,000 residents. Meanwhile, the 1980s saw the development of IBM’s first personal computer in Boca Raton.

Unlike the first land boom, this one continued well into the 1980s and 1990s. More projects took place in Boca Raton, such as the redevelopment of several of the city’s downtown corridor. Boca Raton’s luxury resorts and golf courses as well as cultural facilities increased in number. These developments helped Boca Raton earn its nickname: the Beverly Hills of Florida.
