General information and History on Lighthouse Point Florida

In an area of mangrove swamps and fertile farmland, Miss Juliette Becker built the first home in 1947 on the SE corner of Sample Road and NE 21st Avenue. Four years later, in 1951, the first acreage was acquired for development by R. E. Batemen. In 1951 the first home in a new subdivision called Hillsboro Isles was completed. On December 23, 1953, the first baby, Cynthia Ann Wright, was born to "Lighthouse Point" parents. From these beginnings the future City of Lighthouse Point began to emerge.

In 1953 a civic association was formed and by 1954 the residents met to decide the future of the community. The choices were to be remain status quo, become annexed by the City of Pompano Beach, or to incorporate as their own city. The City of Lighthouse point was then born, on June 13th 1956.

At this time the City Hall operated from a store front at 1811 NE 24th Street. Fire protection services were still provided by Pompano Beach Highlands volunteers.

The city was named for the Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, which in fact is located in Hillsboro Beach, not Lighthouse Point.

The City of Lighthouse Point has a total area of 2.4 square miles, 2.29 square miles of it is land and .11 square miles of it (4.58%) is water.
