General Information about Lake Worth

Lake Worth is a city in Palm Beach County, Florida, which takes its name from the intercoastal waterway along its eastern border. The lake itself was named for General William J. Worth, who led U.S. forces during the Second Seminole War. As of 2006, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 36,342.[3] It is part of the South Florida metropolitan area, which is home to 5,463,857 people.[6]
Local folklore has it that the first post office in the Lake Worth area was founded in the 1880s by a married African American couple who were freed slaves. The initial name for the post office was Jewel. The post office was located in a small dry good shop which the couple operated to serve the lake traffic which connected the small pioneer homesteads located along the banks of the Lake Worth lagoon.
