West Palm Beach Arts and Entertainment
West Palm Beach has more than gorgeous beaches; it also has a great
selection of museums and other attractions. These include:
Founded in 1894 by Henry Flagler, West Palm Beach was created to house
servants working at hotels on nearby Palm Beach. Many of the city’s
historic structures were created in the 1920s when the city swelled.
Today, West Palm Beach has a population of about 89,000 people. The South
Florida metropolitan area, where West Palm Beach is in among the
northernmost cities, has a population of over 5.4 million, making it the
sixth largest metropolitan area in the United States. West Palm Beach
lies on Florida’s southeast. It is only 70 miles north of Miami and 46
miles north of Fort Lauderdale. The city has also been credited with
being one of the best places to live and work.
The climate of West Palm Beach is subtropical. The city has nearly
constant sunshine and only mildly distinguishable seasons. Winters are
cooler than the area’s humid summers, but temperatures during the
winter months occasionally go down to the 30s. January is the coldest
month when temperatures average a warm 65 degrees. However, despite the
long, humid summers, the city has never recorded a temperature at 100
degrees. The hottest month is August when the temperatures average around
83 degrees.
Much of the urban area directly west of the city, which includes areas
such as Westgate, Belvedere Estates, Lakeside Green, Century Village,
Golden Lakes Estates, Lake Patrick, Bahama Heights and Drexel Park, to
name a few, is not officially within the boundaries of West Palm Beach,
these areas possess a "West Palm Beach" address. Urban
services, such as police, fire, parks and water and sewer are provided by
Palm Beach County in these areas.
Due to vast areas of swampland immediately to the west of PalmBeachFl
downtown, growth occurred to the north and south in a linear fashion.
Until the 1960s, the city was no more than several blocks wide but over
100 blocks in length. Large scale development finally occurred to the
west of the city with improved access and drainage in the 1960s. However,
the city boundaries were not expanded much with the exception of the
"Water Catchment Area", an uninhabited area in the northwest
part of the city that serves as a reservoir for the city drinking supply.
