Swampy's Florida

Lilly Pulitzer is known most for the extremely popular clothing line she created. The Florida citrus inspired line sparked a trend duplicated today by other clothes makers. The clothes style was a result of her interaction with her husband’s Florida orange groves. A spill of orange juice created a phenomenon.

Her life in Palm beach is well tied to what brought Henry Flagler – The Standard Oil Company. The effects of The Standard Oil Company on Palm beach is fascinating. There are many books that I could recommend to read all about it. Click here for a far more concise, yet still a bit complicated, history of oil in the Palm Beaches. It’s also the source of the photo to the left of her and her daughter in the 1960s: https://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/oil-swells-the-standard-oil-crowd-in-palm-beach/
