History
Archaeological evidence indicates Native American inhabitation of the region dating back thousands of years, with Ais, Calusa, Jaega, Mayaimi, and Tequesta peoples settling in or near modern-day Palm Beach County. A complex of mounds west of present-day Boynton Beach and near the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge includes shards of pottery possibly from 150 BCE. An excavation of the site also yielded beads and glass from as recently as the 16th century, which are believed to have been influenced by the Spanish.
Captain James A. Armour, head keeper of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, filed the first land claim in Boynton Beach in 1875, although he is unlikely to have lived there. Two years later, Dexter Hubel of Michigan and his family settled in the area, but they had to live at the Orange Grove House of Refuge in present-day Delray Beach until their house was built.
