What is paradise? Before 1969; land that would eventually become the City of Palm Coast was considered by some as nothing more than a "big pine-covered swamp." But when the corporate eyes of ITT/Levitt and Sons looked upon the virtually uninhabited land; they saw 22;000 acres of golf courses; marinas; oceanfront motels; scenic drives; and house lots awaiting the arrival of sun-seeking "pioneers." Marketing strategies targeting urban residents in the North and Midwest offered slices of land cut out of miles of forest; and soon a 500-mile infrastructure of roads; utilities; and sewer lines bound Palm Coast to a future that included becoming the largest planned unit development in Florida history.
