On March 20, 1959, John D.
MacArthur , multimillionaire insurance magnate and landowner,
announced his plan to develop approximately 4,000 acres and
provide homes for 55,000 people in a new community. This land
would be developed under his careful supervision. Mr. MacArthur
's chosen name for the city was Palm Beach City. However,
permission to use that name was denied, so MacArthur , in
keeping with his "garden city" plan, decided to
call the city Palm Beach Gardens. He wanted this new city
to be a place to raise a family and make a living, to realize
the American dream. With this in mind, he set to work carving
the City of Palm Beach Gardens from empty miles of dairy cattle
grazing land.
MacArthur envisioned the city streets lined with trees and
flowers. Millions of dollars were wisely invested by MacArthur
to create a Florida community with hundreds of waterways,
rolling terrain, magnificent mature pine and shade trees,
and rich foliage. Because Mr. MacArthur was a lover of trees
and Mother Nature, he instructed that city streets and construction
go around trees that had been growing there for many years.
This made for an expensive proposition but he wanted to build
a city that was entirely new and unblemished. |
