BOCA RATON, Fla. â A map makerâs mistake.
Itâs funny to think about the name of Boca Raton as that, but itâs true.
The term Boca meant âjagged edgeâ or ârocky inletâ and was supposed to describe an area in the Biscayne Bay.
It somehow made it on the map in Palm Beach Countyâ¦.so that âmouth of the ratâ literal translation you may have heard really doesnât mean anything to the naming of the city.
The Boca Raton Historical Society and Museum is getting a $3.9 million renovation this year that will bring imaginative, interactive exhibits to visitors of the future.
