Palm Beach Island History

Palm Beach Island has a long and interesting history, dating back to the 1800s when Henry Flagler built his railroad across the island. In the early 1900s, the Palm Beach Hotel was built, which attracted many wealthy guests from around the world. The hotel was later demolished and replaced by The Breakers, which is still in operation today.

In 1926, the Palm Beach Inlet was created, which connected the island to the mainland. This made Palm Beach Island a more desirable destination, as it was now easier to access.

Since then, Palm Beach Island has been known as a playground for the rich and famous.
