Boca Del Mar was a former census-designated place (CDP) and current unincorporated place near Boca Raton in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The population was 21,832 at the 2000 census. While it is not officially in the City of Boca Raton, the community is often classified under its umbrella term.
The development was first planned in 1969 as "Boca Granada" by the Behring Development Company, who previously developed Tamarac Lakes, and Woodmont and The Woodlands in the Fort Lauderdale area. The name was changed to its current moniker to avoid confusion of a nearby condominium complex, and the first approval for a planned unit development was granted in 1971. Behring was sold to Cerro Corporation in 1972 and Leadership Housing, Incorporated was formed, a joint-venture between Cerro and the real estate development arm of another conglomerate Texaco Industries, who had previously developed Anaheim Hills. Leadership Housing would develop other upscale communities in the area, and construction progressed significantly in the 1980s.
