Miramar sits in Broward County between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, a planned city that grew from open land into a diverse community. The Miramar Cultural Center brings theater, galleries, and concerts to town, and Miramar Regional Park gives residents sports fields, trails, and open green space. The Everglades begin to the west, and the city's neighborhoods mix newer planned developments with older streets. Miramar's name comes from the Spanish for sea view, though the city sits inland, a nod to its founders' hopes for a bright, open community.
