ANSWERS: 1

Once a fledgling senior retirement community in the early 1960's, a young millionaire named Ken Behring came from the Midwest and bought up all the land and then started to build. He originally made his fortune with a chain of carwashes called Car-A-Mat. He called his new city Tamarac, Car-A-Mat spelled backwards, and the name remains. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/classified/realestate/community/sfl-homespot-tamarac,0,7833813.story Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarac%2C_Florida
