West Palm Beach
Wall Street South
Portrait
Henry Flagler founded West Palm Beach in 1894 to house the staff of his Palm Beach hotels, keeping the island for guests and the mainland for everyone else — a division that survived a century. Financial firms have moved here from New York since 2020, and Norton Museum's collection is better than the city's reputation suggests.
