Description
Palm Beach was first established in the 1890s when Henry Flagler (1830-1913) purchased land along Lake Worth to establish a resort and expanded his Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) to the area. The hub of the community centered around the Royal Poinciana Hotel and the Breakers Hotel. West Palm Beach was established nearby for hospitality and service works to reside. Palm Beach was officially incorporated as a town in 1911.
