With a name inspired by the Earl of Pembroke and a type of tree common to the area, Pembroke Pines, one of the largest cities in BrowardCounty, abides by the motto “Join Us and Progress with Us.” For years, the sprawling community, bordered by Hollywood and Miramar, has been the subject of praise, earning state and national awards for its exemplary sense of community.
Much of its surge in growth has been attributed to the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, during which time many displaced Miami-Dade residents relocated farther north. Pembroke Pines features a multitude of schools, expansive neighborhoods, parks, recreational facilities, shopping centers and dining venues.
