The city was master-planned and primarily developed by WCI Communities, then known as Coral
Ridge Properties. The city's name is derived from the company's name, and was selected after several
earlier proposals had been considered and rejected. Despite the name, there are no springs in the
city;
Florida's springs are found in the central and northern portions of the state.

During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the young city grew rapidly, adding over 35,000 residents each
decade.
Coral Springs has a distinctive atmosphere among South Florida cities, due in part to its
stringent codes designed to maintain the city's aesthetic appeal. The city government's effective fiscal
management has maintained high bond ratings, and the city has won accolades for its overall
livability, its low crime rate, and its family-friendly orientation.

Coral Springs is a planned community. Prior to its incorporation as a city in July 1963, the area which
is now
Coral Springs was part of 20,000 acres (80 km²) of marshy lands bought by Henry Lyons
between 1911 and 1939. After several floods in 1947,
Florida created the Central and Southern Florida
Flood Control District (now the
South Florida Water Management District). Canals and levees drained
much of the area upon which Coral Springs was built. After the land was drained and cleared, most of
the area was used as a bean farm. Lyons died in 1952 and his heirs moved from beans to cattle.

A post-World War II real estate boom in
South Florida attracted the interest of developers. Coral Ridge
Properties, which already had several developments in
Broward County, bought 3,869 acres (16 km²)
of land from the Lyons family on December 14, 1961 for $1 million. The City of
Coral Springs was
chartered on July 10, 1963. Other names that were considered for the new city included "Curran
Village", "
Pompano Springs" and "Quartermore". By 1964, the company had developed a master plan
for a city of 50,000 residents. On July 22, 1964 the first sale of 536 building lots netted $1.6 million. The
landmark covered bridge was built that same year to promote the town. In 1965, Coral Ridge
Properties bought an additional 6,000 acres (24 km²) from the Lyons family; the total land area of
Coral
Springs
increased to 16 square miles (41 km²). The first city government elections were held in 1967.

The city added nineteen public schools, a regional mall, shopping centers and parks during the last
three decades of the twentieth century in response to rapid population growth. The construction of the
Sawgrass Expressway in 1986 brought even more growth. A museum and a theater opened in the
1990s. The city reached residential build-out in 2003 and is very close to a commercial build-out.

The city's historically low crime rate was marred in the early 1990s, when teen gang violence made
headlines, with fights and murders reported. The violence subsided and the city returned to its
previously peaceful state in 1995.

Coral Springs was ranked as the 27th best city in the United States in which to live by Money Magazine
in 2006; was named the 10th safest city in the US by Morgan Quitno in 2007; and was identified as one
of the 100 best communities for kids by America's Promise, also in 2007.
