A Brief History of Pembroke Pines

The area that became Pembroke Pines was largely agricultural land, including dairy farms, until the years after World War II, when returning servicemen and new arrivals seeking affordable suburban land began settling there.

The Pembroke name predates the city itself, tracing back to Sir Edward J. Reed, a nineteenth-century British parliamentarian who formed a land company that purchased a vast tract of South Florida swampland from developer Hamilton Disston in the 1880s.

When local leaders incorporated the city on January 16, 1960, the founding mayor suggested pairing the existing Pembroke name with 'Pines,' inspired by pine trees growing nearby. From that modest agricultural beginning, the city grew rapidly into one of Broward County's most populous suburbs.

Pembroke Pines's Economy Today

Health care and social assistance make up the single largest employment sector in Pembroke Pines today, led in large part by Memorial Healthcare System, one of the region's major hospital networks.

The city is home to notable corporate and institutional employers beyond healthcare, including a large American Express operations presence, the Broward County School Board, and Spirit Airlines, which bases its headquarters in the city.

Pembroke Pines benefits from a location near Interstate 75, Interstate 95, and the Florida Turnpike, along with proximity to both Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and Miami International airports, supporting logistics-related businesses.
