Fort Lauderdale Airspace
I am living in Pompano Beach, Florida, a city in Boward County, located along the coast of Atlantic Ocean, more or less 5 miles south of Boca Raton and north of Fort Lauderdale, with a population estimates of 112,118 as of 2019 (U.S. Census Bureau). Named after the primary choice of fish caught for food in the coastal waters, our town was settled by farmers back in 1884 but was only incorporated by the late 1900s. Tragic hurricane damage swept the town back in 1928, leading to the decision to move the town’s site a little farther inland, which later became a market for fruits and vegetables during the winter season.
