Welcome to the Newto News for September of 2026. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

West Palm Beach, Florida was founded in 1894 by Henry Flagler, a wealthy businessman and railroad tycoon. Originally established as a commercial center for Palm Beach, the city quickly grew in size and importance, attracting wealthy residents and visitors from around the country. During the early 20th century, West Palm Beach experienced a significant boom in population and economic growth, driven by the construction of luxury hotels, shopping centers, and cultural institutions. The city became known as a paradise for winter vacationers, with its sunny weather and beautiful beaches. In the mid-20th century, West Palm Beach faced challenges as urbanization and suburbanization reshaped the city. However, efforts to revitalize downtown and preserve historic neighborhoods have helped to maintain the city’s unique character and charm. Today, West Palm Beach is a vibrant and diverse city, known for its cultural events, beautiful waterfront, and thriving business community. It continues to attract tourists and residents alike with its warm climate, stunning landscapes, and rich history.
