Lake Worth is proud of both its historic past and its dynamic future. New housing is becoming available throughout the City. Historic districts have been established to help preserve the old Florida architecture.

Located in coastal central Palm Beach County, Lake Worth is easily accessible by road, rail, air and water. A large and diverse work force is available to support new business from light industrial to home occupations. In December 2004, the City annexed approximately 74 acres of property in the Park of Commerce. The purpose of the annexation was to increase the potential of employment within our municipal boundaries by increasing our capacity to accommodate heavy commercial and low to high traffic generating industrial uses.
Education is strongly represented in Lake Worth. Four public elementary schools– all newly rebuilt or remodeled- and a middle school as well as private and parochial schools are located in the City and the surrounding area.
