Prior to development, the land that became Palm Beach Gardens was primarily cattle ranch land and pine forests, as well as swampland further west. In 1959, wealthy landowner and insurance magnate John D. MacArthur announced plans to develop 4,000 acres (16 km²) and build homes for 55,000 people. He chose the name Palm Beach Gardens after his initial choice of Palm Beach City was denied, after an objection to the state legislature by the nearby City of Palm Beach, which objected because the name was too similar to its own. He had a plan for a "garden city" so he altered the name slightly. The "city" was incorporated as a completely "paper town" in 1959, meaning that it existed only on paper. In the 1960 U.S. Census the city officially had a population of 1, apparently a squatter whom MacArthur had allowed to stay on his property. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
