History

​Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful, Inc., formerly named Beautiful Palm Beaches, was organized in 1988 by a group of grassroots volunteers.
It originally focused primarily on landscape beautification in central Palm Beach County, especially along the I-95 corridor.

​On October 11, 1994, we expanded our mission and coverage area to serve all of Palm Beach County as the local non-profit affiliate of Keep America Beautiful.
