West Palm Beach

Located approximately 60 miles north of Miami and just across the bridge from Palm Beach, West Palm Beach was the brainchild of Henry M. Flagler, Florida railroad magnate and Standard Oil partner of John D. Rockefeller.  West Palm Beach was founded as a commercial and residential center to support Flagler's hotels in Palm Beach.  West Palm Beach is the County Seat and primary business hub of Palm Beach County with a city population of approximately 110,000 and an "urbanized" area of over 1.3 million residents.  For more information you can visit  www.cityofwpb.com
