Palm Coast started as a community development project by ITT in the 1970s, and became a city in December 1999. Palm Coast is a vibrant and thriving community with a population of more than 60,000. The Community has a diversified population in all aspects, including race, religion, culture, age and demographic background. All areas of commerce have grown to make this city not only an attractive place to live but a great place to bring your business. Over a few short years the City of Palm Coast has experienced growth in commercial, industrial, and service business with much more to come.
Palm Coast is a unique new city that lives in harmony with nature, paradise set in a forest. Lush native trees and plants along the parkways are reminiscent of "old Florida". This charming city near the sea is known for its sparkling salt and fresh water canals, the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway, parks, and tree canopied paths which beckon with every breeze. The City is also home to eight breathtaking golf courses. If you enjoy boating, fishing, golf, tennis, biking or hiking this is the place for you. If you prefer peace and quiet take a stroll along our uncrowded beautiful beaches, or any of our beautiful tree canopied walking trails. Palm Coast has beautiful parks, plenty of fine restaurants and lots of family oriented entertainment.
