Jupiter Island

Community location: 25 miles north of Palm Beach and 10 miles south of Stuart

Community information:
Jupiter Island is part of a chain of barrier islands that stretch from Key West and reach as far north as New York. The island is 17 miles long and 25 miles north of Palm Beach and 10 miles south of Stuart. It was first recorded by Europeans as part of land grant from the king of Spain in 1815. In the early 1900s much of the land was sold to a British land development that subsequently went bankrupt in the 1920s. The company's holdings were then acquired by a group of friends who enjoyed staying at a small hotel on the island and had a vision of conserving its natural beauty. Today, much of the island is in the hands of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Audobon Society, and the Nature Conservancy. Well known as an exclusive enclave for prominent families seeking privacy, Jupiter Island also offers excellent private schools, superb shopping and proximity to fine restaurants in Palm Beach and Martin counties. Jonathan Dickson State Park and Hobe Sound Wildlife Refuge are minutes away. Worth magazine has ranked this quiet island town, population 601, for the second year in a row "the wealthiest town in America" based on real estate prices.

Tequesta
Community location: Just north of the town of Jupiter

Community information:
Tequesta's natural beauty and serenity of the river to the deep blue ocean tempts people in search of a pleasant freindly enviroment. This village has a unique history around its founding. In 1955 a bride tender was asked by charles Martyn to describe the area that is now the Village of Tequesta. His reply was, "itjust a jungle". Inspired by the remarks Martyn asked for a tour of the area. As the two men traveled the Inlet and intracoastal by boat, maartyn was immediately intrigued by the natural beauty and potential of the area. He bought 86 acres on Jupiter Island where he developed the Jupiter Inlet Colony. While excavating the site, Martyn's crew unearthed an Indian mound filled with artifacts. Martyn's interest in indian history led him to research the mound's contents. later speculation was that the mound belongs to an encampment of Tequesta indians encroaching on the native jega Indians. martyn was convinced of this and named an area he was developing west of the Intracoastal after the Tequesta tribe. That development now know as the tequesta country Club, was late incorporated as the village of tequesta. Tequesta started as one man's vision and now has become a thriving village with miles of luxury waterfront property in a pristine enviroment. A mix of quiet single family home neighborhoods and secure condominium complexes attract families, working professionals and retirees to the Village. There are plenty of shops, stores and serrvice businesses located in tequesta along with churches of various faiths. New residents and visitors are always greeted with a strong sense of community and a genuine hometown freindliness.
