Lake Worth Facts, History, and Local Events
Lake Worth, a dynamic, multi-cultural coastal city in Palm Beach County, Florida, is one of the few South Florida urban centers that have said no to high-rise development. It has insisted on retaining its original old Florida charm. The eastern boundary of the city is made up of the Atlantic Ocean and the Lake Worth lagoon, and it is surrounded by cities such as West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, to the north. There are over 35,000 people who call this 7 square mile community home. The Lake Worth community has strong social and environmental consciousness, a sense of history, and the will to preserve it. This attracts people who are drawn to individualistic lifestyles, a culture of acceptance and a sense of history.
The charm of the city is preserved in its many historic structures, and its modern face shows in the buzzing downtown district. Six designated historic districts, and a preservation code, protect and maintain the over 1000 historical structures in the downtown area and the residential neighborhoods. While Lake Worth has maintained the essential character of the city, and prevented unplanned and insensitive development, it has by no means been lagging in growth and development. It has consistently strengthened its economy. The downtown area is not just the artistic soul of the city, with its historic theater, museum, music clubs, coffee houses, antique malls, and so on, but also the commercial heart of the city, containing retail stores, restaurants, and other businesses. Lake Worth offers a range of recreational opportunities to residents and visitors, including beach activities, boating, golf course, fishing pier, waterfront amphitheater, and parks.
The lake was named after a General -- William J. Worth – who led the US forces in the Second Seminole War. Development began in the 1900's, when Palm Beach Farms Company, acquired thousands of acres of the Everglades. In 1910, developers began selling five and ten acre tracts of land offering a free lot in town with each. The extension of Henry Flagler’s rail line in 1896, accelerated land development and the proposed name for the town was Lucerne. the community grew and prospered for a couple of decades. However, damage sustained by the community in the 1928 hurricane caused economic decline which dovetailed into the Great Depression. Development restarted after the end of World War II, when pensioners from as faraway as Germany moved to the community. The native customs and new industry of these settlers led to a multitude of restaurants, shops, and churches and added variety to the social fabric.
Although there was another period of decline in the 1980's and 1990's, today the Lake Worth downtown area is a resurgent center of development and soaring property values. New interest in the historical charm of the city has attracted more people here. Recently, the South Florida construction boom has brought in new immigrants from Central American countries. The Public K–12, primary and secondary schools in town are a part of the Palm Beach County School District, with the Lake Worth Community High School, Lake Worth Middle School, and more than one elementary school under its administration. The main campus of the Palm Beach Community College falls within the unincorporated Lake Worth area, and there is a private school operated by the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church as well.
The downtown area of Lake Worth has a distinct character, attracting tourists as well as South Florida residents. There is the Lake Worth Playhouse, the Museum of the City of Lake Worth, and other monuments, not to mention the annual events including the Street Painting Festival, Finlandia Week,the largest Oktoberfest in south Florida, a biweekly Friday on the Avenues street festival, and a range of public parks and open space. Combined with the Municipal Beach, a large tract of open public space, festivals and events at Bryant Park and much more, Lake Worth offers something for everyone.
