About West Palm Beach Florida, FL West Palm Beach FL, is a city in Palm Beach County, in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area. Its the county seat located on the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterway. The city was founded in 1894 by Henry Flagler. During the 1920s, the city boomed and was a rival to Miami, leaving it with many historic structures and neighborhoods. In the 1970s to the new millennium, the city had undergone a tremendous renaissance as newcomers have rediscovered the city's historic areas, graceful new high-rises including Donald Trump's elegant “Trump Plaza”, and a resurgent downtown entertainment and shopping district called CityPlace. But, Clematis Street, West Palm Beach's historic shopping venue feared it would lose popularity. To keep that from happening, the Clematis Street district was extensively renovated and refurbished. It is now home to Clematis by Night, an outdoor event held on the street with live music and food. It is also home to West Palm Beach's nightlife, along with CityPlace.
