During the land boom of the 1920s, elaborate plans were announced to create a town, where motion pictures could be produced. Hobe Sound was renamed "Picture City". The boom collapsed after the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane and the original name was restored. In 1925, the Olympia School opened now known as the Apollo School. Street names remained, as did the cement streetlights along Dixie Highway, the Texaco station and the old train station now relocated. |
