Wellington originally contained the world's largest strawberry patch, the Flying Cow Ranch. In the 1950s, Oliver Wellington bought 18,000 acres of swampland in central Palm Beach County that eventually became the Village of Wellington.
Wellington officially became a planned development community in 1972 and was incorporated as a village in December 1995. The village has a total area of 31.4 square miles with 32 square miles being land and only .4 square miles as water.
Wellington holds the largest and longest running horse show in the world from January to March and is considered the top International Equestrian destination for the equestrian competitions of show jumping, dressage and polo.
Today Wellington quietly draws a wealthy cross-section of international society, celebrities and business personalities who consider it a required destination for their equestrian pursuits.
Wellington has a large regional mall, The Mall at Wellington Green, a large renovated public library, multiple recreation centers, a number of public parks and ball fields, and hosts seasonal events such as the annual Top Gun model aircraft show and holiday parades.
Entertainment and cultural events can be enjoyed at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts and the Norton Museum of Art which are located in nearby West Palm Beach community in Palm Beach County. And of course, the Atlantic Beach is located a short drive directly east and enjoyed year around because of the tropical weather here.
