'''Margate''' is a city in [[Broward County, Florida]], United States. The city of Margate is part of the [[Miami metropolitan area]]. As of the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]], the city had a population of 58,712.

==History==

Margate was founded in the 1950s, when much of it was still either part of the [[Everglades]] or [[farmland]]. It became a town in 1955, when [[land development]] became prominent due to an influx of people moving to Margate. In 1961, it was officially incorporated as a city. The name Margate is a [[portmanteau]] of the first three letters of the founder's last name, Jack '''''Mar'''''qusee, and the first four letters of '''''gate'''''way, since it was considered a "gateway" to western Broward County.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.margatefl.com/content/StrategicPlanFinal.pdf |title=Brief History of the City of Margate (page 4 of Strategic Plan Final) |website=margatefl.com |access-date=2015-01-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150102083426/http://www.margatefl.com/content/StrategicPlanFinal.pdf |archive-date=2015-01-02 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The city has a [[waterpark]] called Calypso Cove and two [[golf courses]]: The Carolina Golf Club and the Oriole Golf and Tennis Club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.citytowninfo.com/places/florida/margate |title=Margate, FL: Things to do in Margate |website=citytowninfo.com/|access-date=2015-01-01}}</ref>
