| By the early 1900’s Boca Raton
was a tiny agricultural community, many of the farmers
specializing in pineapple cultivation. In May of
1925, the Town of Boca Raton was incorporated at
the height of the Florida land boom. The town council
commissioned noted society architect Addison Mizner
to plan a world-class resort community. His exclusive
hotel, known as the Cloister Inn, was completed
in 1926 and continues its reign as a city landmark
as the Boca Raton Resort and Club. Although many
of Mizner’s plans for the young community
were squelched by the demise of the land boom in
1926, a few survive today and his architectural
style continues to influence the city.
Boca Raton is the second most populous and southernmost
city in Palm Beach County. It is located on the
east coast of Florida between Delray Beach to
the north and Deerfield Beach, in Broward County,
to the south. The city of Boca Raton, in 1903
a farming village of eighteen souls, is today
home to 75,000 residents. It’s the core
of the south Palm Beach Country metropolitan community,
offering beautiful parks and facilities, economic
opportunities, and a unique quality of life that
is the envy of its neighbors. New developments
include spacious apartments and condos in downtown
Boca Raton, as well as luxury homes at the Mizner
Country Club.
