Singer Island, Florida Real Estate History
Singer Island was originally names Inlet City in 1906 and later renamed after Paris Singer, the famous Palm Beach developer and son of sewing machine millionaire Issaac Singer. Paris Singer began building a hotel on the south end of the Island and called it the “Blue Heron”.
However, the collapse of the real estate market, compounded by the 1928 hurricane that destroyed the Sherman Pointe bridge connecting Palm Beach and Singer Island, caused Singer’s project to be abandoned. The Hilton Hotel currently stands where the “Blue Heron’ was razed in 1940.
