About this ebook
Pleasant City, a neighborhood of West Palm Beach, Florida, is the oldest African-American community in Palm Beach County. The first black settlers came to a place called the Styx later owned by white millionaires who then rented their backyards to black workers to work on the railroad and Henry Flagler s hotel and mansion. Forced out when the land became valuable, the blacks purchased land and settled Pleasant City. Pleasant City was marketed as a High Class Colored Subdivision in 1913, and many of the pioneers still have descendants in the area today.
