Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While North Palm Beach itself is relatively young--just about retirement age--the history of this area is as broad as the horizon. Long before this village was founded in 1956, the Jeaga tribe lived and thrived here. In 1883, perhaps with a mind to farm pineapples, two men began purchasing local plots, becoming the area's first landowners. From there, through fits and starts, this idyll of small-town life began to take shape. The population surged in 1956 when Pratt & Whitney built a facility west of town, making the village a destination for professionals and their families. Former village historian Rosa Sophia traces the long and fascinating history of North Palm Beach, touching on the little known and providing broader understanding of the people and events that nurtured the undeniable community atmosphere that exists today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers three tours that showcase the history of Palm Beach through its architecture. The tours are arranged in chronological order and are illustrated with historical photographs from the archives of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. The first is a driving tour that covers the history of Palm Beach from the Pioneer Era to the present day. The tour spans a distance of 10 miles, going as far north as the Lake Worth Inlet and as far south as Phipps Ocean Park. It also includes three optional walks. The second offers a biking tour that follows the length of Lake Trail, which was the only real road on the east side of Lake Worth until Henry Flagler arrived and built his two resort hotels and related infrastructure in the mid-1890s. The tour spans a distance of five miles and is the best way to understand the Pioneer Era of Palm Beach. The third features a walking tour through the midtown business district between Royal Palm Way and Worth Avenue, also known as the Royal Park Addition. The tours are a great way to explore the rich history of Palm Beach and appreciate its architectural heritage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for its year-round warmth, beautiful beaches and famous residents, Palm Beach County is one of the most well-known areas along Florida's Atlantic coast. And although many people know the county as a winter destination for the likes of starlets and snowbirds, few know that German U-boats sank sixteen ships off the coast in 1942. Nor do they know that eleven "barefoot mailmen" originally took on the mail service between Palm Beach and Miami. In Palm Beach Past: The Best of "Post Time," author and local journalist Eliot Kleinberg has compiled a collection of historical vignettes--which originally appeared in the Palm Beach Post--about the intriguing people and events in the county's history. Kleinberg reveals little-known facts about the development of the region's prestigious neighborhoods and parks, while introducing readers to some of the most captivating and eccentric characters. For readers who want to understand the Palm Beach County of today or those who enjoy local history and just want a "good read," Palm Beach Past is a must.

Book excerpt: Augustus Mayhew's revealing and entertaining essays portray Palm Beach's larger-than-life characters, bigger-than-ever mansions and bolder-than-most pursuits. Focused on the fine line between illusion and reality so often blurred at Palm Beach, the book explores the town's standing as an ultimate destination where extravagance, eccentricity and the unexpected are commonplace. This detailed volume chronicles Palm Beach's unique ever-changing landscape from its origin as a remote tropical refuge to its transformation into an international resort playground that recreated itself as an exclusive residential enclave. "Augustus Mayhew takes nothing for granted when writing about old Palm Beach ... delves beneath the expected in new book. Mayhew's essays are written in a style as breezy as Midtown Beach in November - and with a wit as dry as a gutter on Royal Poinciana Way in February." - Palm Beach Daily News. New insights into Paris Singer and the building of the Everglades Club are gained from previously undiscovered research materials and archival sources in the United States and England. Our awareness and appreciation of Otto Kahn's role in the founding of Palm Beach's exclusive clubs are enriched by his diaries, account ledgers and correspondence found among the Otto H. Kahn Papers at Princeton University's Firestone Library. On a lighter note, Judge James R. Knott's wedding diary documents the numerous at-home ceremonies he performed, taking the reader inside the world of private Palm Beach where guests were asked to hum "Here Comes the Bride." Considering Palm Beach's fondness for distractions, the book also delves into the resort's passion for aviation, dancing, portraits, movie-making, marriage and divorce. Comprised of essays originally published at the New York Social Diary, Palm Beach Daily News and Palm Beach Life magazine, this new collection is illustrated with numerous historical photographs.

Download or read book Historical Shoreline Change Analysis written by Mark Richard Byrnes and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Repetitive surveys of historical shoreline position are recognized as a primary data source for quantifying rates of erosion and accretion. Coastal scientists, engineers, and planners often use this information for estimating the magnitude and direction of sediment transport, monitoring engineering modifications to a beach, examining geomorphic variations 'in the coastal zone, establishing coastal erosion setback lines, and verifying shoreline change numerical models. For this study, shoreline position data for seven (7) time periods were used to quantify shoreline response to incident coastal processes and engineering activities for the east coast of Florida from Indian Harbour Beach to Fort Pierce Inlet (Figure 1). Because mapping shoreline position has employed a variety of techniques since the mid-1800s (topographic surveys, aerial photographic interpretation, GPS-controlled surveys), it is necessary to determine the characteristics of the position being monitored for quantifying change. Shalowitz (1964) discusses the line being monitored, as documented in instructions to US Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS; now called the National Ocean Service (NOSI) topographic field parties, and states that the high-water shoreline is "determined from the physical appearance of the beach" rather than a position associated with a precise vertical tidal datum. He further states, "What the topographer actually delineated are the markings left on the beach by the preceding high water." From this expianation, it is clear the operative definition for high-water line or shoreline for early topographic surveys is the horizontal position associated with wave runup at high tide (Anders and Byrnes 1991). This shoreline generally is associated with features on the beach such as a dune scarp or the base of a bluff, berm crest, debris line, or tonal difference between wet and dry beach, below which the foreshore is smooth (most of these features can be identified on aerial photography as well, particularly with stereo pairs). A computer-based shoreline mapping strategy was used to compile and analyze changes in historical shoreline position for the period 1878/83 to 2000 for the east Florida coast from Indian Harbour Beach to Fort Pierce Inlet (Table 1). The purpose of this study is to quantify changes in shoreline position using the most accurate data sources and compilation procedures to characterize areas of erosion and accretion as influenced by human modifications and natural processes. Because this information is critical relative to alleged claims, emphasis was placed on data accuracy and potential error estimates for gaging the significance of results."--Page 1.
