Few cities in South Florida have a history as closely tied to the arrival of the Florida East Coast Railway as Boynton Beach. The community took its name from Major Nathan S. Boynton, a Michigan businessman who established a seaside hotel here in the 1890s; rail links subsequently supported farming settlements along this part of the coast. Today, the city stretches from districts near the Intracoastal Waterway toward western Palm Beach County, while Oceanfront Park gives public access to the Atlantic shore. Its position between the waterway and ocean places Boynton Beach within Florida’s densely settled Gold Coast.
