Palm Beach County was created in 1909 and was named for its first established town, Palm Beach, in turn named for the palm trees and beaches in the area. Henry Flagler was instrumental in the county's development in the early 1900s with the extension of the Florida East Coast Railroad through the county from Jacksonville to Key West.

The name "Boca Raton" predates the city, and was mistakenly given to the lake where the city stands by early nineteenth century mapmakers, even though there was no Boca Raton Inlet linking Boca Raton Lake with the ocean at the time. "Boca Raton" literally translates from Spanish as "the mouse's mouth," but was an idiom meaning "Thieves' Inlet.
