Palm Beach National

The landscape around Palm Beach National is a flat, subtropical stretch of South Florida’s Atlantic coastal plain, where drainage canals have shaped both residential development and the local economy. The community sits in central Palm Beach County, inland from the Atlantic shoreline, amid the lowland setting of the greater Lake Worth area. Palm Beach National Golf Club gives the locality its name and remains a focus of recreation. To the west, Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge preserves part of the northern Everglades, a counterpoint to the planned neighborhoods and fairways nearby.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
