Ponte Vedra Beach, North Florida's most prominent resort address had a humble beginning. In the early 1900's,
Ponte Vedra Beach was nothing more than a pristine wilderness of sand dunes, swamps, alligators and palmetto
trees.
In 1912, a vein rich in minerals was discovered running through the dunes. These minerals; rutile, ilmenite and
zirconium, were found to be of tremendous value in the processing of steel. The site soon evolved into a frontier
mining town with worker's quarters, a post office and general store.
A successful mining corporation, The National Lead Company, purchased the rugged outpost as well as several
thousand acres of the mineral rich property and, in support of the United States' war effort during World War I,
mined the area for the valuable ore. Mining operations ceased shortly after the war ended and the company began to
sell off their large real estate holdings in the area.
The transformation from former mining town to nationally recognized seaside community began in the early 1920's
when local land planners skillfully developed the area to maximize its natural beauty.
From this respect for the balance of man and nature, came a quaint seaside village with stately, pastel colored
homes featuring tree shaded lawns. Indeed, a community of graceful proportions was created to reflect a graceful
era in our country's history.
The resort life at Ponte Vedra Beach dates back to 1928 and the celebrated opening of the newest playground for the
well-heeled. From the boardrooms of Wall Street to the social registers of America, word spread quickly of the
charming seaside retreat on Florida's northeast shore. This quaint, seaside retreat attracted the upper classes
from all over the eastern and midwestern states. They came for the sun, sand, and surf. They came for the sports.
They came to socialize. The finest families came to meet the finest families. And this splendid heritage continues
today.

Ponte Vedra Beach was 50th on the list of 100 finalists for CNN and Money magazine's 2005 list of the best
places to live. It was the first place in Florida to be named this year and one of only four areas in the state to
make the cut. Ponte Vedra Beach may have been first sighted by Juan Ponce de Leon on his search for the Fountain of
Youth in 1513.
Though a fact unknown by most who live there, the village was the site of a German submarine landing during the
failed Operation Pastorius. On the night of June 16, 1942, four German soldiers from a German submarine came ashore
carrying explosives and American money. Five days earlier, another submarine came ashore in Amagansett, New York on
Long Island The German spies were captured before they could do any damage. All were tried and six were executed.
