A Traveler's Guide to Palm Bay

Palm Bay is a city that is located on the western coast of the US state of Florida. Florida is located in the extreme southeastern portion of the continental United States. It is bordered by Georgia and Alabama to the north, the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the Caribbean to the south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Palm Bay is in Brevard County and is the largest city by population in the county. English is the primary spoken and written language in Palm Bay and the surrounding areas.

The city was first settled by Europeans in 1850 when homes were built on the Turkey Creek. Over the next few decades the area grew because of the lumber and agricultural industries. The area became a leading producer of citrus fruit, mainly oranges. The city was named in honor of the sabal palm trees that grow in the area. The palm trees have come to be a symbol for the city as well as the entire state of Florida. In the mid 20th century several companies moved to Palm Bay and employed large numbers of the population, causing the area to grow.

Palm Bay has a humid subtropical climate, which means hot summers and mild winters. Summer temperatures can reach into the 90's Fahrenheit from time to time but winter temperatures rarely dip below 40. Rainfall occurs year round, but it occurs most heavily during the summer months of June through August. Thunderstorms can be severe from time to time in the summer. The area is also vulnerable to hurricanes because of its location on the western coast of Florida.
