The Best of Palm Beach Gardens, FL - Dr. Mikhail Berman
Palm Beach Gardens is a city in Florida that is located in Palm Beach County. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the population stands at 48,452. Known for its beautiful beaches and vistas, thriving wetlands, golf courses, and other beautiful areas, the city has become a well-known tourist destination as well as a year-round home to thousands of individuals.
History
Prior to being developed, the land was primarily pine forests, swampland, and ranches. It wasn't until the year 1959 that the city was incorporated and the land developed by John D. MacArthur, an insurance magnate and wealthy landowner. He acquired around 4,000 acres with the plan to build houses for around 55,000 people. His initial name, Palm Beach City, was denied by the state legislature, so he went with Palm Beach Gardens as an alternative.
By the year 1970, the city had grown to a population of 7,000. In the year 2007, the great-grandson of Pierre-Alexandre Renoir, a famous impressionist artist gave the city a painting of the city's famous banyan tree, an enormous tree that MacArthur had purchased and transported to the area at the city's beginning.
The city continued to grow, slow and steady, throughout the 70s and 80s. With that being said, the population has never reached the goal of 55,000.

naturescope: Sweetbay Natural Area
Sweetbay Natural Area in western Palm Beach County is a perfect example of what Palm Beach County looked like in it's most natural state. naturescope host Steve Bass walks you through the natural area and talks about some of the plants and animals you may encounter during a visit.
The natural area contains six native Florida ecosystems: mesic flatwoods, hydric flatwoods, wet prairie, baygall, mesic hammock, and dome swamp. The natural area was once part of the greater Loxahatchee Slough, the historic headwaters of the Loxahatchee River.
It is composed of two preserve areas that were set aside during the construction of the airport - a large tract to the west of the airport and a smaller tract to the east.
The natural area is part of the Northeast Everglades Natural Area.
