About this city
Palm Beach is a legendary, ultra-affluent barrier island town located in Palm Beach County, Florida, separated from the mainland cities of West Palm Beach and Lake Worth by the scenic Lake Worth Lagoon. Established in the late 19th century by visionary industrialist Henry Flagler, who built grand luxury hotels and extended his Florida East Coast Railway here, the town became America's ultimate winter playground for Gilded Age millionaires. Geographically, Palm Beach features a narrow, 16-mile-long footprint bounded by the turquoise Atlantic Ocean. It is defined by its immaculate, royal palm-lined avenues, colossal Mediterranean Revival and Addison Mizner-designed oceanfront estates, and exceptionally strict historic preservation and security codes that maintain its legendary aura of exclusive Old Money wealth.
