The village of North Palm Beach is a contemporary success
story. Not only does the village look like a city planner's
model of the perfect American community of the 1950s and
I '60s it actually was.
"It (North Palm Beach) started off as a model town, a
bedroom community for young families in the late '50s," said
village historian Bill Young, who was one of the first residents
elected to the village council in 1959.
Back then, the population was barely 500, but Young said
the developers, Herbert and Richard Ross, took into account the
area's growth potential and designed a town that could easily
accommodate the 18,500 residents it has today.
"The planning was out of this world," said Young. "It was
beautifully designed, beautifully laid out."
