Footnotes ...

<1>If you're interested in how the shape of Florida's counties, including Palm Beach, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<2>Population counts have been provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. For more detail, please visit our Census Page for Westlake.
<3>When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 561 code has been Overlayed with the 728 area code. New phone numbers in the Westlake area will be assigned with one of these codes: 561 or 728. As a result, placing a call in the Westlake area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
