The town started as agricultural land occupied by dairy farms and grew after the war as servicemen were returning, which included large eastern sections that were part of the Waldrep Dairy Farm. It was then known as the “Village of Pembroke Pines”

Pembroke Pines was incorporated in 1960, and took the name Pembroke from its location along Pembroke Road and the many pine trees in the area. But the name Pembroke may date back much further. The name may have been from an early landowner from Britain known as the Earl of Pembroke. This small property was less than a square mile and was between Hollywood Boulevard and SW 72nd Avenue, and had the Florida Turnpike to the east. The city fathers needed citizens involvement so they organized the Pembroke Pines Civic Association. This square-mile city was unable to grow because it was surrounded by the North Perry Airport and the South Florida State Hospital. The developer Joseph LaCroix had his three hundred twenty acres.(3 km2) land north of Pines Boulevard annexed to the city. This gave a new pathway to proceed westward. In 1980, property from Flamingo Road to U 27 was incorporated into Pembroke Pines, doubling the size of the city. This expansion included the property that is currently C.B. Smith Park as well as the Hollywood Sportatorium and the Miami-Hollywood Motorsports Park. At this time the new highway I-75 was built.

The city’s rapid expansion was part of the effect of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Hoards of southern Miami-Dade County residents moved northward to Pembroke Pines. The resulting boom caused the City of Pembroke Pines to be listed as the third fastest growing cities in the U.S.in 1999. In spite of the damage from the last decade’s hurricanes there is growing.
