As the population grew to 20 by 1898, the settlement was now served by its own post office and the town was renamed Deerfield for the deer that grazed along the Hillsboro River.By the early twentieth century, as Deerfield’s population continued to grow, the Florida East Coast Railroad constructed tracks en route to Miami bisecting the town.
