About location

Tamarac straddles the boundary between suburban development and the Everglades in southeastern Florida, a position that has shaped it as a planned residential community within the Miami–Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area. State Road 869, the Sawgrass Expressway, traces the city’s western side as part of the toll-road network linking I-75 at Sunrise with I-95 at Deerfield Beach. Broad carriageways, drainage canals and low-rise neighbourhoods reflect the engineered terrain of South Florida, where water management has long directed urban growth. Incorporated in 1963, Tamarac grew from a small community into an established Broward County municipality, while the Everglades remain a defining presence along its western edge.

City Tamarac

The landscape around Tamarac is a low-lying subtropical plain threaded by drainage canals, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. This Broward County city sits west of Fort Lauderdale within the dense South Florida metropolitan area, while the Everglades lie farther west. Tamarac was founded in 1963 by developer Kenneth E. Behring as a retirement community; its name came from his Car-A-Mart business. Residential neighborhoods, parks and canal-side open spaces now define a city that has grown beyond those origins and reflects South Florida’s planned suburban expansion.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

Country United States

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
