A Brief History

Organized in May 1964, the Society is indebted to the late Bruce M. Lewis of Lewis Publishing Company and the West Palm Beach City Commissioners. The donation of his fine library to the Society by Mr. Lewis, beginning in 1970, launched the library and a need for space. The City budgeted for construction of a room on the ground floor of the City Library to house our collection. That room opened in October 1971. In 1976, the City gave us a second room, with an adjacent workroom, more than doubling the size of our library space. The library has continued to grow over the intervening years and new technology and equipment have become available.
Palm Beach County was created in 1909 from a portion of Dade County. Our county seat is West Palm Beach.
