With a population of approximately 55,000, the Village of Wellington is now the fifth largest municipality in Palm Beach County. Founded in the early 1970s on land once owned by New York accounting magnate C. Oliver Wellington, the community remains the largest single planned development ever approved in Palm Beach County. It was incorporated in 1996 and is run by a council-manager form of government with an elected mayor and four elected council members Wellington's vision is centered around "quality of life," including a strong emphasis on family, recreation, education and public safety. Its strict comprehensive plan requires one of the most demanding per-capita recreation requirements in all of Florida. The plan also protects Wellington's sprawling southern reaches as the Equestrian Preserve Area. Among rolling horse farms is the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center and the International Polo Club Palm Beach, making Wellington the "winter equestrian capital of the world."
