Clematis Street, West Palm Beach

Clematis Street is the downtown West Palm Beach street that meets the Waterfront on Flagler Drive.

A little sourced history

The Historical Society of Palm Beach County says the original town was laid out in a grid of forty-eight blocks, with streets named alphabetically after local plants, running from Lake Worth on the east to Clear Lake on the west and from Althea (now Second Street) on the north to Fern Street on the south. Palm Beach County says the first county government meetings were held in an old four-room schoolhouse at the corner of Clematis Street and Dixie Highway. And the City says the first GreenMarket opened in November 1995 in the parking lot of the Old City Hall. The fuller story is on our history page.
