Wellington

Wellington, Fl. is located in western Palm Beach county, sharing a south-western boundary with the world famous Florida Everglades.  It is known for it's abundant parks, quality schools, attractive neighborhoods and world class equestrian events.

Charles Oliver Wellington purchased Wellington in 1951, but because of its close proximity to the Everglades, there was frequent flooding.  As a result, legislation was passed to transform these wetlands into fertile farmland.  Strawberry fields and Citrus groves were well suited for this land.
