The coastal city of Boca Raton is located in Palm Beach County, Florida, about 20 miles north of
Fort Lauderdale and 30 miles south of Palm Beach. The city is also situated about 50 miles north of Miami. Highways
servicing the city include U.S. Route 1, which passes through the city’s downtown and commercial districts; U.S.
Route 441 which crosses through some of its agricultural areas; and Interstate I-95 which bisects the city from
north to south. The meaning of the city's name is often mistakenly interpreted as the literal translation of the
Spanish "Boca Raton" ("Rat's Mouth") but the origin of the name is more likely derived from a more colloquial
translation, "Thieves Inlet", which probably refers to a nearby geographical inlet in the Biscayne Bay area.
Incorporated in 1925, Boca Raton has experienced a steady rate of substantial growth since that
time. In the 1930s and 40s, the city became known for its winter vegetable crop, particularly its prolific output
of green beans. In 1942, the Army Air Corps established its only war-time radar training school in Boca Raton,
bringing tens of thousands of servicemen as well as families and civilian employees to the then-tiny community. The
1950s saw the development of two amusement parks which are now defunct: Africa U.S.A. (a wild animal park in which
the tourists rode a "Jeep Safari Train" through the park with no fences separating tourists from animals) and
Ancient America. In the 1960s, a South Florida land boom resulted in a population spurt and it was during this
decade that IBM moved one of its computer facilities to Boca Raton, the same facility where the very first IBM PC
(personal computer) was developed in 1981. Boca Raton today is enjoying a steady increase in its industrial base
and is now a major hub of innovative computer development.
