Overview
- President Donald Trump attended the Mar-a-Lago ceremony, unveiled the recognition, and said he was tremendously honored.
- The roughly four-mile segment runs from Palm Beach International Airport to Mar-a-Lago and is frequently used by the presidential motorcade.
- The honorary naming followed state legislation signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and a unanimous county vote authorizing ceremonial markers.
- Physical signs are expected in the coming months, while mapping services such as Google Maps already display the new name.
- The event drew partisan reactions locally, and a remark in Trump’s speech conflating Southern Boulevard with the southern border drew social-media criticism.
