Panama City Beach History
Panama City Beach is a resort town located in Bay County, Florida, on the Gulf of Mexico. The area that is now Panama City Beach was originally inhabited by the Creek and Seminole Native American tribes. In the 1800s, it became a popular spot for fishermen and was known as "Camp Helen" after the daughter of a local landowner.
In the early 1900s, the St. Andrews Bay Land Company purchased the land that is now Panama City Beach with the intention of developing a resort community. They built the Panama City Beach Hotel, which opened in 1927 and became a popular destination for wealthy tourists.
