History

Gun Club Estates and its main road, Gun Club Road, are named after the Palm Beach Gun Club. This club opened in 1911 and was a place where people practiced skeet and target shooting. It started in Palm Beach but later moved to the area that is now Gun Club Estates before the Korean War.

During the war, military personnel from Palm Beach Air Force Base used the gun ranges for training. In the mid-1950s, the club moved again to a spot just north of where Jog Road meets Lake Worth Road, as homes were being built in Gun Club Estates.
