Boca Raton, Florida, nicknamed “A City for All Seasons,” is a 29-square-mile city along Florida's Gold Coast in Palm Beach County, 45 miles north of Miami. The Gold Coast is the region of the southeastern coast of Florida between Palm Beach and Miami. The name Gold Coast refers to both the coins that occasionally wash up on the shore from sunken Spanish Galleons and the fabulous wealth of the area's residents. Boca Raton, FL was incorporated during the height of the Florida land boom in May 1925.  

Boynton Beach, Florida, the “Gateway to the Gulf Stream,” is a 16.25-square-mile coastal city located in Palm Beach County. Boynton Beach's name honors Major Nathan S. Boynton, a Civil War hero, who founded the city.
