History
The city was previously farmland known as the Seminole Improvement District that began in the early 1960s, but renamed Westlake when real estate development started in September 2014, after Minto Communities purchased 3,800 acres a year before (September 2013) for $51 million, and later bought an additional 200 acres in 2014. The City of Westlake officially became the 39th municipality in Palm Beach County on June 22, 2016. It was named, in part, as a nod to Weston in neighboring Broward County, a similar large-scale community planned by JMB Realty and the Arvida company in the 1980s, and because both cities have many artificial lakes. In November 2019, Wellington Regional Medical Center purchased 35 acres for $12.3 million to establish a presence in the community.
