Fact text

  • Despite having 'Beach' right in its name, Royal Palm Beach is actually 15 miles inland, not even close to the ocean.
  • The entire village is officially designated as a bird sanctuary, meaning the birds technically outrank everyone else here.
  • Royal Palm Beach started as a swamp bought for about $1.25 million, roughly the price of a single modest home there today.
  • The village got its name simply because the developer liked the look of royal palm trees and really, really wanted 'Palm Beach' in the address.
  • Since 1990, Royal Palm Beach has earned Tree City USA status every single year, the trees are clearly pulling their weight.
