Hillsboro Beach, officially known as the Town of Hillsboro Beach, is a town in Broward County, Florida, United States. The population was 1,981 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to 5,564,635 people at the 2010 census.

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.

Since the town's earliest years, the population doubles during wintertime.

*******************************************************************************

Deerfield Beach is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. It is located just south of the Palm Beach County line. The city is named for the numerous deer that once roamed the area. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population was 75,018. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census.

Deerfield Beach's history dates back to 1890 when a small settlement named Hillsborough was developed along the Hillsboro River. As the population grew to 20 by 1898, the settlement was now served by its own post office and the town was named Deerfield for the deer that grazed along the Hillsboro River.

By the early twentieth century, as the town's population continued to grow, the Florida East Coast Railroad constructed tracks en route to Miami bisecting Deerfield. Deerfield's early settlers were mostly farmers who grew pineapples, tomatoes, green beans, squash and fished along the Intracoastal Waterway. Through the 1940s, Deerfield remained a largely agricultural based community, but in 1939 the town's name was changed to Deerfield Beach to let tourists know it has a beach.
