The City
The guide was updated:
West Palm Beach was first settled by railroad tycoon Henry Plant, who envisioned the city as the main terminus of his railroad. However, a harsh winter freeze forced him to end the line in Miami instead. Initially designed as a settlement for the staff of Palm Beach's wealthy elite, the city gradually developed its own unique identity, evolving from a small community into the vibrant cultural hub it is today.
Whether it's the sun-kissed weather, the upscale shopping, or the lively nightlife that draws you in, West Palm Beach offers a laid-back yet sophisticated charm that's bound to make you want to return time and time again.
