Boynton Beach

By: M. Randall Gill,Boynton Beach City Library

Boynton Beach, located on South Floridas Atlantic coast, is known as the Gateway to the Gulf Stream. Ernest Hemingway once called these great ocean currents the last wild country left. Fishermen who study navigational charts understand that Boynton Beach is unique as the closest community to the Gulf Stream. Just minutes from the Boynton Inlet, water reaches a depth of 800 feet. Maj. Nathan Boynton came to the area in 1894, built a hotel, and envisioned a prosperous future for the idyllic village. Today Boynton Beach celebrates its diverse population, ideal location, and a rich and fascinating history that includes Henry Flaglers railroad, land booms, hurricanes, shipwrecks, and steadfast farmers.
