The affluent community of Hobe Sound occupies the southern Martin County adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. It covers the coast between the4 Jonathan Dickinson State Park and Port Salerno but excluding the Jupiter Island.
Hobe Sound got its name from Jobe Indians, who were among the first to settle in the area. It is said that the first settlers came when a British ship from Jamaica sank near the Jupiter Inlet. In it were 25 crew and passengers, including Jonathan Dickinson.
Development in the area started when Henry Flagler built his railroad, which passed through Hobe Sound. This led to the birth of tourism and commercial establishments that improved the economy.
The town boasts of great golf courses within and nearby. This has attracted the likes of Tiger Woods and other celebrities like Burt Reynolds and Celine Dion who own properties in Hobe Sound.
