About Loxahatchee Groves, FL

The area now known as Loxahatchee Groves was originally a portion of the 2,000,000 acres (8,100 km 2) of land purchased by the Southern States Land and Timber Company in 1902. Shortly after completion of the West Palm Beach (C-51) Canal – which connected downtown West Palm Beach to Lake Okeechobee at Canal Point for the purpose of transporting crops by water – in 1917, Southern States sales manager, and later president, George Frederick Bensel envisioned a "waterfront" farming community. Bensel and company engineer Torvald Garfield "T. G." Thorgesen both created the first topographical map of Loxahatchee Groves during the following three years. After Bensel, Thorgesen, and others established the Palm Beach Loxahatchee Company, they bought 6,500 acres (26 km 2) from the Southern States Land and Timber Company, naming the land "Loxahatchee Farms".
