Yamato
Colony
Yamato Colony was a farming community in South Florida founded
by Japanese immigrant Jo Sakai in 1905. Yamato was the ancient name
for Japan.
At the time, Japanese immigrants were primarily farmers pushed out
of their home country by industrialization and a lack of land. Most
settled on the west coast of the United States, but a few ventured
east. The community, in the Boca Raton area, grew pineapples and winter
vegetables. |
