Since most of the cities in Palm Beach County contain either "Palm" or "Beach" in their name, it can be easy for new residents to get a little confused about where things are. 

The county has a 1,970 square-mile area with a population nearing 1.5 million. Being so large, most people think of it in two parts- the north and the south.
