Over the years, Sunrise has grown from a suburban bedroom community to the
number one city in Broward County in terms of job growth for the last two years,
with more than 10,000 new jobs created.
The city of Sunrise was incorporated in 1961 under the name Sunrise Golf Village.
At that time, Sunrise was entirely undeveloped. In 1971, a referendum changed
its original name to Sunrise.
To keep pace with the growth, Sunrise continues to add new facilities and upgrade
services to its residents and businesses. Sunrise housed corporate and division
headquarters of major companies and the National Car Rental Center, home of
the Florida Panthers Hockey team. Sunrise is also home to the popular Sawgrass
Mills, the largest mall in the Southeast with 300 stores of discount shopping.

One of Broward's larger cities, Sunrise has shed the past and become an entertainment
hub, with a giant mall, a hockey arena and concert venue, and a cluster of restaurants
and family entertainment.
The city, with a population of 86,664, was incorporated in 1961 as Sunrise Golf
Village by Norman Johnson, who used an upside-down house to attract buyers.
Six years later, John Lomelo Jr., a pardoned felon, became mayor. Through annexation,
the city grew westward, reaching the Everglades and dropping south of State
Road 84.
While mayor, Lomelo survived a criminal charge in 1967 that later was dropped,
several IRS audits and 14 state attorney's investigations. He was convicted
in 1985 of defrauding taxpayers of $52,000 and trying to extort money from a
Maryland nursing home company.
For years, the city worked to shed a reputation for corruption. The city is
now run by a professional city manager and is governed by a mayor and four commissioners
elected citywide.
In 1998, the city's regional clout grew when the Florida Panthers hockey arena,
the National Car Rental Center, opened. The arena -- a partnership among companies
led by local sports mogul H. Wayne Huizenga, Broward County and Sunrise -- draws
top national music artists, wrestling, soccer, football and circuses. A road
behind the arena was named in 1998 after City Manager Pat Salerno, who was credited
with obtaining the arena.
Across the street, Sawgrass Mills draws 25 million visitors a year, mall officials
say. They and tourism officials say that makes it the state's second-most popular
tourist attraction, after Walt Disney World.
In 1999, The Oasis, a cluster of top-end restaurants and entertainment centers,
opened at the mall.
