Through all of it, Boca Raton became a magnet for the Northeast. Families from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and beyond moved south or wintered here, until the city's character became as much transplanted-Northeast as native-Florida — a connection that ties Boca, in its own way, back to our New England roots. Today it's an affluent coast of beaches, golf, the arts at Mizner Park, and a hundred years of Mediterranean Revival style, with the Cloister Inn marking its centenary in 2026.
Our Boca Raton logo carries Florida's alligator above 'Florida Territory — Est. 1845,' the shared retro emblem of our Florida places, drawn in worn black-and-white like an old crate label or woodcut stamp. The alligator is Florida itself: tough, adaptable, at home in the subtropical heat. It's the through-line that links Boca to every other Florida place we make. What makes this one Boca Raton is everything around it — the pink tower, the barrel-tile roofs, the inlet of hidden rocks, and the Mediterranean city Mizner built in a single year.
Why People Visit Boca Raton
Boca Raton rewards visitors who want South Florida with a century of style behind it — Addison Mizner's Mediterranean Revival architecture, a beautiful stretch of Atlantic beach, the arts and dining of Mizner Park, and a genuinely surprising history that runs from a secret WWII radar school to the birthplace of the personal computer. People come for the beaches and the resort glamour, for the Boca Raton Museum of Art, and for an easy, refined coastal day with deep roots.
