Lake Clarke Shores, Florida

Founded in the late 1940's, Lake Clarke Shores was incorporated in 1957. Pineapples promised big business in South Florida. John Clarke, son of a Palm Beach pioneer, had the money to buy five acres of land just south of the present Hillcrest Cemetery on Parker Avenue. There he planted pineapples and built a packinghouse to prepare the fruit for shipping to northern cities. An agricultural blight and Henry Flagler's railroad destroyed South Florida's pineapple farms. When the railroad extended to Key West, Cuban "pinas" could be loaded and shipped to northern markets more economically.

For leisure time activities Lake Clarke Shores offers the Town Hall Park and Playground, the Heart Trail and exercise stations, the Pine Tree Park, a boat ramp, tennis courts, a garden club and a town pavilion which can be rented for multiple occasions. - text courtesy lwchamber.com.
