Tucked between Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties, the city of Coconut Creek is a well-planned community of approximately 50,000 residents, with housing consisting primarily of single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes within beautifully landscaped neighborhoods.

One story is that the city took its name from the coconut trees that were planted in the area by early developers.  Another states that a developer, R.E. Bateman is said to have named the city Coconut Creek after two Dade County cities, Coconut Grove, and Indian Creek.  At the time of the 2000 census, the population was 43,566.  By the 2005 census, it had grown to 49,017.

Brimming with lush trees, scenic waterways, beautiful parks, attractively landscaped roadways and amazing butterfly gardens, Coconut Creek is the first in the State of Florida to be certified as a Community Wildlife Habitat.  Its butterfly aviary, Butterfly World, with over 80 species and 5,000 individual butterflies is the world's largest butterfly aviary, giving the city of Coconut Creek the well deserved distinction of being the Butterfly Capital of the World.
