In 1912 the Pompano town council enacted a so-called "Blue Law" that stated:

. . . whosoever follows any pursuit, business or trade on Sunday, either by manual labor or with animal or mechanical power, except the same be of necessity, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding fifty dollars.

It is not clear when, if ever, this ordinance was formally repealed (or, for that matter, what was the definition of "necessity").
