Tamarac was a fledgling senior retirement community in the early 1960’s, when a young millionaire named Ken Behring came to South Florida from the Midwest and bought up all the land of what today is the city of Tamarac and then started to build. He originally made his fortune in the carwash business, with the dealerships called Caramat. He called his new city Tamarac, Caramat spelled backwards, and the name remains.
Tamarac is located in the western portion of Broward County, in the heart of the South Florida cultural and business climate. This central location makes Tamarac a key city for business, leisure and recreation. Since its incorporation in 1963, Tamarac has prospered and grown into a full service city. Tamarac is 12 square miles and the approximate population of the city is 56,444. The city’s projected population at build-out is over 60,000.
