Palm Beach Florida had its origin in 1909, the second oldest county in the South Florida Metropolitan Area. The largest city in Palm Beach Florida is West Palm Beach (Central County) and serves as the county’s capital where most of the local government offices are located.

The very first settlers coined the name Palm Beach Florida in recognition of the abundance of palm trees in the county, especially those that dot the beaches. Palm Beach County is the largest in the State of Florida (2,386 miles square), blessed with sunshine and moderate weather all throughout the year. The east side of Palm Beach is untrammeled beach line, facing the Atlantic Ocean, ideal for resort facilities and vacation houses.

Since its inception in 1909, Palm Beach Florida only had a population count of 5,577 residents, a very low number indeed, considering that its population has low jumped to 1,287,987 in 2006, according to the University of Florida, Bureau of Economic and Business Research. Such number is really unprecedented, making Palm Beach the twenty-ninth most populous county in the United States.

West Palm Beach Florida, the capital city of Palm Beach County is emerging as the number one mid-size city in the United States. A tradition that the people of West Palm Beach Florida built since the late 1800’s, tempered by the excitement and pride, this is especially felt by visitors as they stroll the downtown streets, over a tour of its historic neighborhoods, the enthralling city parks and of course the picture perfect waterfront.

And what better examples are the over 40 parks and public spaces, seven community centers and a nature center.

The good Mayor has been dubbed the energetic champion of West Palm Beach children, seniors and working citizens. Her undying efforts strengthened public education, reduced significantly domestic violence and gave access to health care while tremendous effort was expended to free minors from the cigarette menace.
