Boca Raton was founded in 1925, and its name has been misinterpreted. Some say it means "mouse mouth," thinking "Boca Raton" is a Spanish phrase that would mean mouth (boca) mouse (raton). However, the naming was a bit more complicated, and it had to do with a name applied to Biscayne Bay to the south in the 18th Century. This appellation was mistakenly applied to the area around Lake Boca Ratones in the 19th century, and a variation of the name has persisted here since then.
Lake Worth Beach is "Where the Tropics Begin," and it was home to 42,219 people as of the 2020 Census. The city was founded in 1911 as "Jewel," was renamed as "Lucerne," and finally became Lake Worth in October 1912. The name was derived from Lake Worth, the body of water separating the mainline from the barrier island. The city was renamed to Lake Worth Beach in 2019 to rebrand itself and promote tourism.
