Inviting beaches, scenic vistas, magnificent architecture, and a fascinating history have made Palm Beach County one of America's premier tourist destinations. Beginning with the construction of railroads, and the Royal Poinciana and The Breakers luxury hotels in the late 1800s, the county has been a beacon for vacationers seeking escape from everyday life and winter weather for more than one hundred years.

Historic Photos of Palm Beach County presents the story of this popular section of Florida, told through striking black-and-white photographs carefully selected from the finest archives. The images in these pages show how the region grew from "almost a wilderness" to become a place where coveted beachfront property now sells for astronomical sums.

Ride the mule train, stroll the Australian Pine Walkway, and feel the sand between your toes as you enjoy this unique collection of photographs honoring Palm Beach County.
