In the early 1900s, oil tycoon Henry Morrison Flagler became invested in the Southern coast of Florida and embarked on creating an exclusive resort community. By constructing a railway that would provide easy access to the area, Flagler built two hotels with the hope of attracting America's elite families. Over time, this humble community transformed into an iconic American destination, attracting British royalty, Hollywood celebrities, and prominent families. As the century progressed, Palm Beach established itself as a luxurious haven synonymous with both old-world grandeur and modern sophistication. In this magnificent book, longtime Palm Beach resident and social icon Aerin Lauder invites readers to experience her Palm Beach. From beloved dining spots to noteworthy homes, she leads us through the exclusive shopping on Worth Avenue and scenic trails along Lake Worth, while sharing the stories, personalities, and landmarks that have come to define this glamorous destination.
