With images from public and private collections, join the Palm Gardens Historical Society as they paint a colorful picture of this impressive community.Sculpted from the swamp, sawgrass, and sand of Florida scrubland, Palm Beach Gardens emerged as a pristine embodiment of the dream of eccentricbut brilliantbillionaire John D. MacArthur, who appealed to the Florida Legislature in 1959 for the creation of this new city. A largerthanlife character who relocated an 80yearold, 76ton banyan tree several miles down roads and across railroad tracks to mark the entrance to his city, MacArthur later fully financed the Palm Beach Gardens interchange on Florida's Turnpike to promote growth in the western part of the city. Palm Beach Gardens, with 30 percent of its 4,000 acres devoted to green space, was ecologically sound before the environmental movement began. With the RCA Corporation and nearby Pratt & Whitney providing employment in the early years, schools and churches nourishing families, and a strong strain of volunteerism among residents, by 1970 Palm Beach Gardens was the fastestgrowing municipality in the nation. Although ""Mr. Mac"" did not play golf nor particularly like the game, he encouraged its development in the ""Gardens"" because of its positive influence on real estate sales and tourism. Indeed, he invited the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) to make its home there and declared Palm Beach Gardens the ""Golf Capital of the World""today, there are 17 golf courses in the city.
