Boynton Beach Historical Society
Founded in 1968, the Boynton Beach Historical Society serves as a living repository for the community’s traditions and history. Its mission is to preserve and interpret significant historical and antiquarian items, while fostering a deeper understanding of the past—covering Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County, and the State of Florida.
Currently, the Society does not have a permanent physical location or museum. However, its archives are housed at the Boynton Beach City Library, where they are available for research by appointment.

The Historical Society is proud to serve the communities of Boynton Beach, Ocean Ridge, Manalapan, Gulf Stream, Lantana, Hypoluxo, Briny Breezes, and the area west of Boynton Beach to U.S. Highway 441. The Society also occasionally extends its reach to the broader Palm Beach County area.
The Society hosts history programs seven times a year, typically meeting on the second Monday of October, November, January, February, March, April, and May. All meetings are free and open to the public. During these months, the Society also publishes and mails its newsletter, The Historian, to members and friends.
