Pembroke Pines is the heart of family living centrally located between Ft. Lauderdale & Miami in Southern Broward County. Incorporated in 1960, the city took its name from its location along Pembroke Road and the many pine trees in the area. The city was started by people seeking space to spread out. They discovered miles of country in the mid-1950s, and began settling in what was then the distant country side of the seaside city of Hollywood. In this once-remote area, new residents were able to spread out on larger parcels of land and build custom homes without prescribing to convention or following a path laid by developers. Today, there are still many horse properties out west.
