Incorporated in 1894, West Palm Beach is South Florida’s oldest incorporated municipality. The community owes its founding to railroad tycoon Henry Flagler. The seat of Palm Beach County, West Palm Beach was originally intended to house servants employed by Flagler’s hotels on the island of Palm Beach. The city enjoyed growth during Florida’s ill-fated land boom of the 1920s, and local architecture still reflects the Spanish-style influence of that era. Historic neighborhoods and modern amenities make West Palm Beach one of Florida’s most popular coastal communities.
