Coral Springs History

The City of Coral Springs is 24 square miles nestled in the north-west corner of Broward County. Coral Springs is known for its family atmosphere, thriving businesses, advanced recreational facilities, and top-rated schools. As one of the fastest growing cities, and now considered fully "built-out", it is hard to believe the very same land was merely a green bean farm and cattle field just over 60 years ago.

Founders

Just over 60 years ago successful Fort Lauderdale builders, James S. Hunt and Joe Taravella of Coral Ridge Properties had the vision to create a planned city from the ground up.

Past Elected Officials
