Discover West Palm Beach
In the late 1870s and 1880s a few hundred settlers, including the Potter and Lainhart families, lived in what they called Lake Worth Country. Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, was named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth of the Second Seminole War. Most settlers grew tropical fruit and vegetables for shipment north, and by 1890 more than 200 people lived along the lake.

In 1893, as his railroad arrived, Henry Flagler platted West Palm Beach to house workers at his hotels across the lake in Palm Beach. He paid settlers Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse $45,000 for the town site. West Palm Beach was incorporated on November 5, 1894, the first incorporated town in Dade County and in South Florida, and brick and stone soon replaced tents and shanties.
When Palm Beach County was formed in 1909, West Palm Beach became the county seat. The neoclassical courthouse opened in 1916 and has been restored as a history museum.
