Pembroke Pines is situated halfway between the city of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The city of Pembroke Pines is the 9th largest city within Florida State.
American Indians first inhabited the region roughly 4,000 years ago, or longer. Archaeological evidence dating back roughly 10,000 years has been unearthed around Broward County. It is speculated that the name Pembroke came from an early British landowner named the Earl of Pembroke. The city, that wasn't incorporated until the year 1960, is located along Pembroke Road. The region is characterized by numerous pine trees.
Pembroke Pines is located within an easy distance from two seaports and two airports: Port Everglades, the Port of Miami, the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and the Miami International Airport. The highway US 27 gives access to Lake Okeechobee and to various areas in Florida State.
