About Pembroke Pines

Before development, the area was largely dairy farms and open agricultural land. Pembroke Pines was incorporated as a village on January 16, 1960, then upgraded to city status on May 22, 1961. Soon after, the city grew slowly until Hurricane Andrew struck in 1992 and triggered a wave of migration from southern Miami-Dade. The population jumped from 65,500 in 1990 to 171,000 by the 2020 census.

Geographically, Pembroke Pines covers 34.76 square miles in southwest Broward County, about 22 miles north of Miami. Major arteries include Pines Boulevard, Pembroke Road, and Taft Street. The city borders Hollywood and West Park to the east, Miramar to the south, and Davie and Cooper City to the north. A council-manager government runs from city hall on Palm Avenue, with leading the commission. Pembroke Pines belongs to Broward County and sits about 30 minutes southwest of Fort Lauderdale.
