Hallandale Beach calls itself a “City of Choice.” Once a a hunting site for Florida’s Seminole Indians, the area began its early development when Henry Flagler’s railroad opened the way to South Florida. Named for an employee of that Florida East Coast Railway, Hallandale incorporated in 1927, but didn’t add Beach to its name until 1999. The Broward County city has earned the Tree City USA designation and has been honored for its environmental protection efforts.
