Hillsboro Beach, officially the Town of Hillsboro Beach, is a town in Broward County, Florida, United States. The town is part of the Miami metropolitan area. Its population was 1,987 at the 2020 census.




History


The town was named for the Earl of Hillsborough, who received large grants of land from the King of England while Florida was an English possession.
The 3.2-mile (5.1 km) strip along Florida State Road A1A is officially known as "Hillsboro Mile" in the town's boundaries, and it's the only main road in town. Because this is the only main public road, it is aligned with the residents' mansions and commonly called "Millionaires' Mile" by both local residents and visitors alike. Its own official motto also notes this by referring to it as "Florida's Magnificent Mile".
Since the town's earliest years, the population doubles during wintertime.
