From Wikipedia:
Lake Worth Beach, previously named Lake Worth, is a city in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States, located about 64 miles (103 km) north of Miami, its name from the body of water along its eastern border known as the Lake Worth Lagoon. The lake itself was named for General William J. Worth, who led U.S. forces during the last part of the Second Seminole War. As of 2010, the population estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau was 34,910. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people in 2015.
Development started again after World War II with many modest pensioners, especially from Quebec, Finland, and eventually Germany, moving to the city and building 1,000-square-foot (93 m2) cottages. These new immigrants brought their industrious nature with them as well as their native customs, restaurants, shops, and churches and for decades the town flourished. To this day, one can find an abundance of beer halls, chocolatiers, Bavarian delicatessens, and Lutheran churches, which stand out in the semitropical urban sprawl of South Florida.
The South Florida construction boom brought a new wave of immigrants in the past few decades. Central Americans have added a Hispanic aspect to Lake Worth's culture. Included in the 1980s immigration were many Guatemalan-Mayans who consider themselves indigenous people, rather than "Hispanic" or "Latino" and some may not speak Spanish. They mostly converse in Mam, Q'anjob'al, or any one of 22 existing Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala. Adding to the racial and linguistic mix of the city is a large Haitian population, speaking Haitian Creole and French.
During a short period of neglect and decline in the 1980s and 1990s, Lake Worth, in the words of then-city commissioner Dennis Dorsey, "had become known as the skin-flick capital of the country." The venue now known as the Lake Worth Playhouse was the Playtoy, and was well known in Palm Beach County as the theater that showed x-rated movies; Deep Throat was shown there, motivating a police raid in 1973.
The downtown area has seen a huge resurgence in interest and now sports an array of art galleries, sidewalk cafés and night clubs. Once moribund property values have soared. The city's main street, Lake Avenue, contains some of the oldest commercial structures in South Florida, including the Art Deco Lake Worth Playhouse.
The city was hit especially hard by Hurricanes Frances, Jeanne, and Wilma in 2004 and 2005. The fishing pier was quite damaged but was repaired (with the help of FEMA) and reopened in May 2009. The pier is currently open to the public with entry fees of $1 per adult sightseer, and $3 per adult fisherman. The city's public swimming pool has been restored, and besides serving to instruct Palm Beach County residents in swimming and water safety, hosts water-sport competitions. The pier is home to a tide gauge with a sporadic history, showing an above average rate of sea level rise.
In 2015, the city was accused of asking for business licenses from surrounding churches.
In 2019 a ballot initiative to change the name of the city to Lake Worth Beach passed with a narrow margin. The city states that the name change "will be implemented slowly".

@@missy_riley Do U Prefer Living In Alabama OR Lake Worth Beach, Florida I Can Definitely Guess Which 1 U Prefer
@@tameikabrown I haven't been home in years so it's probably nothing like when I grew up there. I really do like living in the country.
I lived there when I was 12, and 13 years old. I remember to this day the multiple lightning strikes, the water spout, that landed on Palm Beach, and the very humid air. In addition, the snakes slithering all around the homes back yards, streets, parks, and rail road tracks. Never again will I live there!!! I haven't been there since. This was in late 1977, through 1979.
Great video Florida Mike keep it up man your videos are amazing hey how did you like Florida so far man my favorite video was when you drive through Tampa
It was great man. All that sunshine, palm trees, and beaches made it feel like a vacation. Tampa is pretty nice.

My mom wanted to divorce my dad, so she decided to move to Lake Worth, Florida from California, back in November 1977, when I was barely 12 years old. The Street was 1115 N. H Street. My mom worked in a textile factory, and it was very difficult raising four kids on her own. She realized, that Florida didn't have many job offerings, and decided to move back to California. My mom hates Florida, because of all the hard work she went through there. As you said, there aren't any jobs. Imagine back in 1977, and 1978.
nice

Don't be fooled like I was!! Lake Worthless is a sesspool of a place with high crime rates, crackheads next door and homeless people have taken over the everything.
It was nice, with almost no crime in late 1977 and all of 1978. When I lived there as a 12 year old girl.
