Tequesta was incorporated in 1957 and named for the Tequesta people, Indigenous inhabitants of southeastern Florida. The village developed primarily during the postwar era as residential growth expanded throughout northern Palm Beach County and the Jupiter area. Low-rise neighborhoods, waterways, parks, and limited commercial development helped establish Tequesta’s village-scale character. Over time, waterfront properties along the Loxahatchee River, Intracoastal Waterway, and nearby waterways became an important part of its residential landscape. Today, Tequesta retains a predominantly low-rise residential environment characterized by established neighborhoods, waterfront homes, parks, boating access, local businesses, and proximity to Jupiter and the Atlantic coast.
