A History of Boca Raton
by Sally J. Ling.
Excerpt from back cover:
A quick read, yet a comprehensive history of Boca Raton and the institutions that make up our city. Sally Ling’s many first-person vignettes are priceless in capturing Boca Raton’s greatest institution of all–its people. As the mayor, I thought I knew all there was to know about Boca’s history, but there are many tidbits I discovered for the first time. This book covers it all–from the beachfront to the old bean fields–as it chronicles Boca Raton’s rapid transformation from frontier beginnings to the world-renowned status the city enjoys today.
–Steven Abrams,
Former Mayor of Boca Raton
