Welcome to Boca Raton, Florida! Originally, this area was inhabited by Native American hunter gatherers who would relocate seasonally between sources of shellfish. The area called "Boca de Ratones" by the Spanish was actually located to the south, in what is now Biscayne Bay. However, mapmakers mistakingly moved this location north, and began calling the city's lake as "Boca Ratone Lagoon."

In this day in age, Boca Raton is said to be the "Beverly Hills of Florida," due to its well-developed beach resorts, country clubs, as well as five-star shopping and restaurants. There have been a number of mansions built, reflecting the high property values here, and it is famous of being a retirement city (information courtesy of Wikipedia.com, image courtesy of Elfguy at English Wikipedia / Public domain).
