Sunrise Florida Living
In 1961, Sunrise was the Sunrise Golf Village and was a mere fraction of today’s population and size. By 1971, the town was officially known by it’s current name and was growing rapidly. The original name proposed for the village was “Sunset” but residents rejected the idea as sounding too final. As most of the residents at the time were retirees, this was an important consideration for the future of the city.
Today Sunrise is the ninth largest city in Broward county with a population of more than 85,000. The city has grown from it’s humble, village roots into a vibrant economic and tourist hub. Located adjacent to the Everglades and six miles west of Fort Lauderdale, if the city doesn’t have what you need or want, you won’t have to travel far to find it.
Economic Strength in Sunrise
Sunrise is a top tourist draw for multiple reasons. The BB&T Center, a state-of-the-art-arena that’s the second largest in the country, houses the National Hockey League (NHL) Florida Panthers. The arena is also a draw for major concerts and other entertainment. Sunrise offers something for everyone – a soccer club, golf course, tennis club, playgrounds, and municipal swimming pools, plus a Senior Center and a Civic Center which offers performances, art shows, and other cultural events.
It’s not all fun and games in Sunrise. The city is home to several major corporations who have national, international, or regional headquarters located throughout the city, as well as major brands.
