History

The town was named for the Earl of Hillsborough, who received large grants of land from the King of England while Florida was an English possession.

The 3.2-mile (5.1 km) strip along Florida State Road A1A is officially known as "Hillsboro Mile" in the town's boundaries, and it's the only main road in town. Because this is the only main public road, it is aligned with the residents' mansions and commonly called "Millionaires' Mile" by both local residents and visitors alike.

Since the town's earliest years, the population doubles during wintertime.
