Palm Beach
History
For centuries, Palm Beach was inhabited by the Jaega (Jeaga) people, who lived along Florida's Atlantic coast through fishing and trade. The area remained largely undeveloped until the late 1800s, when Henry M. Flagler envisioned it as an exclusive winter retreat for America's wealthy elite. His construction of luxury hotels, railroads, and grand estates transformed Palm Beach into one of the nation's most prestigious resort communities, establishing a legacy of elegance, philanthropy, and luxury real estate that continues today.
