The Village of Wellington is located in the western-most part of The Palm Beaches, sharing a southwestern boundary with the Florida Everglades. It balances a unique hometown, family atmosphere with an attractive natural environment and recreational, cultural, and educational activities with facilities for all ages. Wellington, one of the most successfully crafted communities in Palm Beach County, has become the premier South Florida community known for its abundant parks, quality schools, attractive neighborhoods and equestrian interests.
In 1951, Charles Oliver Wellington, an accountant and investor from New York, purchased several tracts of land located just northeast of the Florida Everglades. Thanks
to state-mandated drainage and flood control initiatives, the formerly waterlogged area was soon transformed into fertile farmland. Many crops – including the world’s largest
strawberry patch – were grown in the area that would eventually become Wellington.
Wellington is world-famous for Equestrian and Polo events. In addition, it is one of the top Polo destinations in the world attracting the world's most accomplished Polo players.The Village of Wellington is home to the International Polo Club Palm Beach and the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center.

Where to eat:
Yet again Trip advisor to the rescue!
- Agliolio Fresh Pasta and Wine Bar: I read pasta and wine and I already believe them! with a $10 create your own pasta can you really complain?!
- Jordan's Steak Bistro: I've actually eaten here. They have a beautiful patio that is light with white lights, and the clean white table cloths set the ambiance. I ordered a crab cake appetizer that melted in my mouth. With a great wine menu this place was a great find. Oh not to mention I brought my dog along with me and the staff was very kind to her too!
- La Fogata is another restaurant I found one weekend showing in Wellington. This Mexican style restaurant has delicious margaritas on happy hour! Located in a Publix shopping center I wasn't able to bring my dog but the food was huge portions and delicious.
- Oli's Fashion Cuisine and Bar
- Kontiki for sushi and bento boxes
