Founded as a lakeside community in the late 1940's, the Town of Lake Clarke Shores was incorporated in 1957, and consists of approximately 1,500 dwellings. The population is approximately 3,600.|
Lake Clarke Shores is located in Palm Beach County, Florida. It extends from Carambola Road on the north to Lateral No. 10 Canal (south of Mediterranean Road) to the south, and the West Palm Beach Canal on the east to Florida Mango Road on the west. The distance around our beautiful lake is 3.3 miles.
As a full-service municipality, the Town of Lake Clarke Shores provides, Police service, garbage and trash collection, and also provides potable water to most of its residenents.
Florida Mango Grovelets" is what our tracts of land are called on the tax rolls and in the record books. What an odd little name! But what an odd little history those properties have had. They were once, long ago, a grove, then a marsh, then the "boondocks", and finally a real town, The Town of Lake Clarke Shores, founded 45 years ago in 1957.
The first people to set their sights on the area, however, go back to the early 1900's.
Pineapples promised big business in South Florida. John Clarke, son of a Palm Beach pioneer, had the money to buy five acres of land just south of the present Hillcrest Cemetery on Parker Avenue. There he planted pineapples and built a packinghouse to prepare the fruit for shipping to northern cities. An agricultural blight and Henry Flagler's railroad destroyed South Florida's pineapple farms. When the railroad extended to Key West, Cuban "pinas" could be loaded and shipped to northern markets more economically.
By 1915, Clarke, like most others, abandoned his crop. Clarke's other businesses, including building the first shaft-driven car in Pennsylvania, kept him from spending the entire season in Palm Beach. But when he was here, his tract of land was a perfect getaway. An avid fisherman, he could escape the pressure of business by catching all the bass and bream he wanted in the lake on the western edge of the land. He named that lake "Lake Clarke", and with no one else around who much cared what it was called, the name simply came to be.
