Mac - Arthur bought 2,600 acres (11 km2) of territory in northern Palm Beach County that had been owned originally by Harry Seymour Kelsey and later by Sir Harry Oakes.
The territory included most of today's North Palm Beach as well as Lake Park, Palm Beach Gardens and Palm Beach Shores. Mac - Arthur then began developing what is now North Palm Beach, which sat on former mangrove swamps and farm land.
The region was punctuated only by Monet Road and Johnson Dairy Road to the north and south and US 1 and Prosperity Farms Road to the east and west.
Full-scale evolution and incorporation as a village occurred nearly simultaneously in 1956, with extensive dredging creating waterfront cul-de-sacs, and the evolution of a new east-west artery, Lighthouse Drive, connecting Old Dixie Highway and the newly aligned US 1.
Sir Harry Oakes' castle-like home on US 1 became the clubhouse for the North Palm Beach Country Club, which is positioned on the village island surrounded by the Inter-coastal Waterway reached by three bridges Lighthouse Drive bridge to the West, the Earmon River bridge to the south, and the Parker drawbridge to the north.
