While much of the United States was rapidly advancing through the Industrial Revolution in the early 1800s, Florida was still largely a wilderness dominated by native tribes, especially the Seminoles. Florida became a US Territory through the Adams-Onis Treaty in 1821 and then the 27th state in 1845 after a series of battles and wars fought against indigenous tribes, including the Second Seminole War, the bloodiest war against Native Americans in United States history. Although becoming a US State opened up Florida for pioneering, most of the development in South Florida was delayed due to continued clashes with the remaining Seminoles and the US Civil War. After the war, South Florida became the last frontier for pioneering on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.
Many of the first pioneers in South Florida established homesteads around the body of water known as Lake Worth, but by 1875, South Florida was experiencing a type of “Gold Rush” from affluent northerners who came here for adventure and especially for hunting in the pristine wilderness. Big game like the Florida panther, alligators, and crocodiles were popular targets as well as all types of exotic birds for their valuable feathers. Elisha Dimick, who later became Palm Beach’s first mayor, expanded his home on the lake to accommodate an increasing number of visitors, eventually offering 50 guestrooms, establishing the Cocoanut Grove House in 1880 as South Florida’s first public lodging establishment in the settlement which became known as “Palm Beach” because of the abundant coconut palms in the region.
Henry Morrison Flagler, co-founder of Standard Oil, was a guest at the Cocoanut Grove House in 1893. Purportedly enchanted by the tropical vegetation, Flagler decided that Palm Beach was the perfect location to fulfill his vision to build one of America’s grandest Gilded Age hotels, the Hotel Royal Poinciana, which opened in 1894. Reported as the largest hotel and wooden structure in the world, the hotel had 1,700 employees and accommodations for 2,000 guests. Flagler completed the Florida East Coast Railway to West Palm Beach also in 1894 (to Palm Beach in 1896) and the Hotel Royal Poinciana became the preeminent winter destination for the wealthy elite, establishing what we now know as “The Season”, which makes the 2024/25 Season Palm Beach’s 146th season!
In addition to the pristine nature, Palm Beach became known as a recreational destination. The Royal Poinciana and the Palm Beach Inn (later The Breakers from 1901) featured electric lighting, running water, and central heating, which were revolutionary technological innovations at that time. These resorts were the earliest examples of the all-encompassing resort experience, including fine dining, transportation, and recreation such as swimming, fishing, sailing, yachting, bicycling, tennis, and golf, setting new standards in the hospitality industry on an international level. The Breakers’ Ocean Course is the oldest golf course in the state of Florida (and one of the oldest in the USA).
In addition to healthy sports and recreation, the mild subtropical climate attracted ailing, wealthy Northerners who came to Palm Beach to recuperate. In 1903, world-renowned homeopathic medicine specialist Dr. James Munyon completed construction of the Hotel Hygeia on what is now known as Munyon Island in the Lake Worth Lagoon where he offered his cure-all Munyon’s Paw-Paw, a grain aperitif crafted from papaya, Florida citrus,

passion fruit, and all natural botanicals. Named after the Greek goddess of health, the five story, twenty-one room, eight bath hotel helped Palm Beach County become known as a health and rehabilitation destination.
As Palm Beach developed into the American Riviera, sports and competitive sporting events attracted numerous famous athletes, sports enthusiasts, and visitors from around the world. Delray Beach built a world-class tennis stadium in 1974 and continues to host the Delray Beach Open, an ATP World Tour Tournament. PGA Tournaments in Palm Beach County date back to the 1940s, and in 1981, PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens opened and has continuously hosted major professional golf tournaments on the PGA Tour, such as the Cognizant Classic (earlier Honda Classic), which are broadcast live internationally, raising the profile of Palm Beach County. There are approximately 145 golf courses in Palm Beach County, which is branded “The Golf Capital of Florida”.
Other sports and forms of recreation took hold. The Gulf Stream Polo Club opened in 1923 and Palm Beach County eventually became one of the most prominent equestrian destinations in the world after the establishment of the Palm Beach Polo Club and the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington. Over the last century, Palm Beach County has hosted numerous Major League Baseball teams each year for their spring training, to the delight of hundreds of thousands of fans. The National Croquet Center, the world’s largest dedicated croquet facility, is based in West Palm Beach.
The Palm Beaches also became known as a culturally rich destination, with some of Florida’s most significant cultural institutions such as the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Norton Museum of Art, and The Society of the Four Arts, to name a few.
Other world-class hotels and resorts opened to provide accommodations for the growing number of visitors to the Palm Beaches, such as the Bradley Hotel in 1924, The Brazilian Court in 1926, The Lido-Venice in 1926 (eventually called The Vineta and The Chesterfield), The Cloisters Inn in 1928 (currently called The Boca Raton), and the Colony Hotel Palm Beach in 1947 as examples of the most historic properties.
With over 9 million visitors a year and deep historical roots in the hospitality industry, Palm Beach County has become one of the most preferred vacation destinations in the United States, offering visitors from all socioeconomic backgrounds a wide variety of world-class cultural, social, sporting, and commercial venues, as well as miles of pristine, easily accessible beaches and beautiful nature.
This season, the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum is presenting its Grand Exhibition called Wish You Were Here: Tourism in the Palm Beaches, which will explore the fascinating history of how Palm Beach County became one of the most desirable destinations in the world over the last 150 years. The highly anticipated exhibition runs November 15 – June 28th, 2025.
