History of Gun Club Estates
The name "Gun Club Estates" comes from an old shooting range. This range was called the Palm Beach Gun Club. It first opened in the town of Palm Beach in 1911. Later, before the Korean War, the club moved to the area where Gun Club Estates is now.
Around 1952, during the Korean War, soldiers used the gun ranges for training. These soldiers were stationed at the Palm Beach Air Force Base, which is now the Palm Beach International Airport. By the mid-1950s, the gun club moved again. This happened as new homes were being built for Gun Club Estates. The club moved to a spot north of Jog Road and Lake Worth Road.
