Hallandale Beach began in the late 1890s as a farming settlement south of Dania, laid out in 1898. Railroad magnate Henry Flagler recruited Luther Halland, a brother-in-law of his agents, to found the colony; Halland ran a trading post, became the first postmaster and, with fellow settler Olaf Zetterlund, promoted the area's frost-free climate and cheap land. By 1900 about a dozen families farmed there, a school opened in 1904 and a church in 1906. For decades the beach was used only for recreation while the town lived off its farms.
The 1926 hurricane and the end of the Florida land boom slowed growth, but Hallandale incorporated as a town in May 1927, becoming Broward County's eighth municipality. Two racing venues shaped the town's later identity: the Hollywood Kennel Club dog track opened in 1934, and Gulfstream Park thoroughbred track opened on February 1, 1939. In 1947 Hallandale reincorporated as a city, which allowed it to annex land along the Atlantic shore.
The city's name was changed to Hallandale Beach on August 27, 1999. Since 1996 a community redevelopment agency covering most of the city's land has funded redevelopment, and in 2010 the Village at Gulfstream Park, a large shopping and dining district, opened on what had been the track's parking lot. The old dog track, now the Big Easy Casino, was bought in 2018 by Jeffrey Soffer of Turnberry Associates.
Hallandale Beach covers about 4.6 square miles in the southeast corner of Broward County, about 12 miles south of Fort Lauderdale. Interstate 95 forms the western border, Hollywood lies to the north, Pembroke Park to the west, Aventura in Miami-Dade County to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. About three-quarters of a mile of the city's frontage is public beach, reached from South Ocean Drive.
The oceanfront, added to the city after its 1947 reincorporation, is lined with waterfront high-rise buildings, while the mainland holds the original town, City Hall on South Federal Highway (US 1), a small downtown financial district of banks and offices, and the Gulfstream Park racetrack and its Village shopping district along US 1. More than 80 percent of the city's land lies within its community redevelopment area, and the agency has steered new office, retail and residential projects into areas such as District 8, formerly called the Fashion, Art and Design District, and Hallandale City Center.
The city maintains 17 parks along with a marina, a historic village and a tennis complex. Peter Bluesten Park, rebuilt across six city blocks and reopened in 2019, has a YMCA-run recreation center, a pool, ball fields and courts. Public schools are part of Broward County Public Schools.
Interstate 95 runs along the western edge of the city, and Hallandale Beach Boulevard is the city's main east-west road. US 1 carries north-south traffic through the middle of the city toward Hollywood and Aventura, and Ocean Drive runs along the beachfront.
The city's free community bus, operated with Broward County Transit, runs four routes inside the city and into Hollywood and Aventura; the shuttles carry two bikes, and service does not run on a few major holidays. Community Bus Route 3 reaches Tri-Rail's Hollywood station at 3001 Hollywood Boulevard, which has free commuter parking and connections to BCT Route 7. Broward County Transit also runs regular bus routes through the city.
Brightline's Aventura station, opened in December 2022 just south of the county line along Biscayne Boulevard, is the closest stop on the Miami to Orlando intercity line; trains reach MiamiCentral in downtown Miami in about 20 minutes, and the station has about 240 parking spaces. Miami Beach is about 15 miles to the south by road and Fort Lauderdale about 12 miles to the north.
Gulfstream Park, open since 1939, is the city's best-known institution. The thoroughbred track hosts the Florida Derby, run since 1952, and the Pegasus World Cup, and its grandstand was rebuilt for the 2006 season with slot-machine gaming added. The Village at Gulfstream Park, opened in 2010, surrounds the casino with shops, restaurants and entertainment. The Big Easy Casino, on the site of the 1934 dog track, has hosted concerts, comedy and the World Classic poker event.
The beach is served by North City Beach Park and South City Beach Park at 1870 S. Ocean Drive, which has restrooms, showers, a pavilion, a sand volleyball court, a playground, bocce courts and a beachfront cafe. Lifeguards are on duty year-round, beach wheelchairs are available free, and parking is paid by phone app.
On the mainland, Peter Bluesten Park has a pool, tennis and basketball courts and ball fields, and the city also operates the Golden Isles Tennis Complex, a city marina and a historic village. The city's redevelopment agency sponsors events including the Food and Groove Festival, and Aventura Mall and the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk are each a short drive away.
