Boca Raton, Florida, was a tiny farming community on the southeastern coast of Florida when the state\'s 1920s real estate boom grew into a national phenomenon.
By the end of the 20th century, Boomtime dreams were fully realized and Boca Raton became one of Florida\'s most prestigious addresses..
Boca Raton returned, for the most part, to its small-town agricultural heritage by 1930.
By the fall of 1926, however, the Florida land boom came to an end.
The popularity of Mizner\'s projects stimulated many similar developments within the region, increasing the population of the town from 100 to several hundred residents.
The plans included a gigantic oceanfront hotel, elegant mansions, golf and polo grounds, and palm-lined boulevards.
In April 1925, well-known Palm Beach society architect Addison Mizner revealed his plans for an ambitious new development in Boca Raton.
Investors and new residents were drawn to the state from all over the country, a time Floridians referred to as the Boom.
