The City of West Palm Beach has been involved in Historic Preservation since 1988, when a survey of the historical and architectural resources was conducted. Since then, The City has developed a progressive historic preservation program. This includes the adoption of a Historic Preservation Ordinance, Participation in the Florida Certified Local Government Program, the designation of sixteen (16) historic districts amounting to over 3,200 properties, and an Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Program. In 1991, Old Northwood was adopted as the City's first historic district. The City's historic districts have a unique character that they wish to maintain for future generations.
