History
Deerfield Beach is named for the numerous deer that once roamed the area. In recent years, development near Deerfield’s beachfront has been a major source of local controversy. Groups such as “Original Save Our Beach” have actively opposed this development. In 1951 the town name was changed to the City of Deerfield Beach. The economy gradually continued to evolve away from agriculture toward tourism.
