A Short History 

History of Jupiter Island: Jupiter Island is the southernmost of Florida's Treasure Coast's three Barrier Islands. The Spanish Plata Fleet wrecked directly off the coast in 1715 spewing tons of silver and gold coins that still wash ashore to this very day. Jupiter Island's first recorded history was as part of the Gomez Grant. This was a land grant from the King of Spain to Eusebio Gomez in 1815, as a reward for faithful service and includes not only Jupiter Island but almost all of what is now mainland Hobe Sound.

The land was divided and redivided among the Gomez heirs and others and much of it was sold in the early 1900s to a British land development company that went bankrupt in the late 1920s. The extensive land holdings of the corporation were acquired by a group of friends who enjoyed staying at a small Island hotel with the idea of conserving the natural beauty of the Island and this has been the aim of the original owners, their heirs and others who have purchased land and built homes here. In fact, much of the Island has been given to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Audubon Society and the Nature Conservancy for wildlife refuges and preservation of the natural ecology.

Jupiter Island was incorporated as a town in 1953 and enacted strict low density zoning which has preserved its natural beauty probably better than any other populated barrier island in existence. One and two acre zoning is the norm for single family residential homes and no high rises or multiple family dwellings are allowed. The town has its own government including mayor, commissioners, a fire department and police force with probably the highest ratio of police to residents in the United States. There are currently four hundred and fifty homes on Jupiter Island.

Florida (Jupiter Island Club, Hobe Sound, FL) 1930s/40s, pt 1

From my grandparents' home moves. We see: Ft Pierce Railway Express sign at train station, trains arrive and depart at station with steam locomotives (one double-header), rose cottage, beach, clubhouse, catering truck, sailfish and taxidermist's truck, nice motor yachts, motorboats, train car named Croydon, Florida Special, Casa Marina Resort in Key West?, ruins somewhere, pelican, sunset, "the building at the end is a marine/dolphin park called, "Marineland of Florida". It is located north of Flagler Beach, FL in the Town of Marineland. It is still in operation today; however, the dolphin tanks have been replaced. The last shot after the dolphin tank was a boat that was docked across the street. That boat was used to catch dolphins and other sealife for the tanks at the park. The park was opened in the 1930's.The park was created by the owners of Pratt and Whitney aircraft engines."
