Fact text
- When Palm Beach Gardens was incorporated in 1959, its entire official population was exactly ONE person: a 71-year-old man living in a shack with no running water or electricity.
- Moving an 80-year-old banyan tree into the city was such a massive operation that it accidentally knocked out most phone and telegraph communications between Miami and the outside world.
- The city's founder spent $30,000 and over 1,000 hours of manpower just to move one tree, explaining simply: 'I can buy anything but age.'
- A local drawbridge became so notorious for closures and delays that fed-up residents nicknamed it the 'Please Go Around bridge.'
- The Bonnette Hunt Club attracted some seriously fancy guests, including King Hussein of Jordan and Bing Crosby, all coming to shoot quail in what is now a golf course.
