Brief History of Loxahatchee
Loxahatchee, whose name originates from the Seminole term for “turtle river,” was historically a wild and undeveloped area. Settled in the early 1900s, it remained mostly agricultural, with citrus groves and farms shaping the landscape. The community began to grow in the 1960s and 1970s when it became an attractive option for those seeking a rural lifestyle without venturing too far from Palm Beach's urban centers. Loxahatchee is also part of the larger Acreage community, known for large lots and a focus on open spaces. Today, it remains one of the last areas in Palm Beach County where you can enjoy rural living with easy access to amenities.
