Palm Beach, Florida?
Approximately 9,000 citizens make Palm Beach their year-round home, and about 20,000 more have a seasonal home in Palm Beach where they enjoy the winter months. (We call them snowbirds.)
What about the people?
The Jaega were a tribe of who lived on the island that is now Palm Beach at least 3,000 years ago.
Like other original Florida tribes, they disappeared from the area after the long ownership of Florida by Spain and England.
The first white settlers began moving to the island in 1872. The sparsely populated island saw its first exciting event in 1878.
That the year a ship, the Providencia, was wrecked off the coast with a cargo of 20,000 Trinidadian coconuts.
