It was 1894, one year after the last Barefoot Mailman walked along its sandy shores and two years before Henry Flagler built his famous railroad, that a former Civil War major from Port Huron, Michigan named Nathan S. Boynton first set eyes on the area that now bears his name. He was so impressed by the natural beauty of what he saw, the year-round sunshine and pristine beaches, that he returned a year later with a group of colonists and built the famous Boynton Beach Hotel to serve as his family’s summer residence.

We at the Condo Company find it hard to believe that Boynton Beach Real Estate was first used for agriculture; the first settlers soon realized that an unlimited assortment of fruits and vegetables thrived in the fertile climate. Cultivated pineapples, tomatoes, mangos, oranges, lemons, grapefruits and limes were packed in crates and shipped by the ton on the newly built Florida East Coast Railroad to satisfy the appetites of hungry Americans across the country.

Boynton Beach remained a fairly unknown tropical paradise known for its perfect weather and delicious produce until the end of World War Two when Soldiers returning home from the war discovered that the small town located only one hour drive north of Miami was an extremely healthy place to raise a family. Since that time, Boynton Beach has grown steadily and never looked back. The city’s population has risen from 5,000 in 1958 to a present number of approximately 60,000 residents, most of which find a Boynton Beach Condo the perfect way to enjoy the charm of her orange groves, fishing marina and sandy beaches
