Celebrating the 75th anniversary of its incorporation in the year 2000, Deerfield Beach, once a small farming community and now a thriving city of 60,000, has grown and prospered over the years. From the pioneering settlers and the early pineapple and winter vegetables farms to the white-sand beaches and the growing business industry, the steadfast citizens of Deerfield Beach have built homes, run businesses, raised families, and always
strived to preserve the community that has brought pride to many generations of residents. Facing such challenges along the way as destructive hurricanes
and beach erosion, the failure of crops and nearby German submarines during World War II, Deerfield Beach has always triumphed with determination and heart. Much has changed over the years--modern hotels, bridges, and roads have appeared, new
industries have joined the old, and more and more people have discovered the charm of the seaside city. In this new pictorial history, the evolving story of Deerfield Beach, the unique heritage of this special place, has been captured in both vintage photographs and the memories of the people who have lived it.
