Tamarac: A Look Back
Over the course of 60 years, the City of Tamarac has come a long way since its days of cow pastures and farmland at the edge of the Florida Everglades. Today, our City of 12-square-miles, boasts a population of nearly 72,000 residents and approximately 2,000 businesses. Ideally situated, Tamarac provides easy access to highways, railways, airports and waterways that have evolved significantly since the City’s founding. Tamarac also offers a wealth of cultural and sports activities for the community to enjoy. Tamarac’s median age continues to grow younger as the population becomes more diverse. Our City is proud that people of all ages, cultures, backgrounds and creeds continue to make Tamarac their home.
