Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. 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!

Originally inhabited by the Seminole Native American tribe, West Palm Beach’s history dates back to the early 1800s when it was established as a trading post for settlers moving through the area. In the late 19th century, the city experienced a population boom with the arrival of the railroad, making it a key transportation hub in South Florida. West Palm Beach continued to grow throughout the 20th century, becoming a popular winter resort destination for wealthy northerners. The city’s economy diversified with the development of agriculture, tourism, and industry. In the mid-20th century, civil rights movements and desegregation efforts led to a more inclusive and diverse community. Today, West Palm Beach is a vibrant cultural center with a strong arts scene, thriving downtown district, and beautiful waterfront attractions. Its rich history and unique blend of cultures make it a truly special place to live and visit in Florida.
