Page "Hypoluxo, Florida" Paragraph 1

The name " Hypoluxo " comes from the Seminole name for Lake Worth, roughly translated " water all ' round -- no get out.

" The lake was later renamed in honor of Seminole Indian War colonel William Jerkins Worth.

However, the name " Hypoluxo " still was associated with the area on the south shores of the lake, as evidenced by its appearance on a 1841 War Department map.

Hypoluxo Scrub Natural Area is a protected landscape.
