- Palm Beach County will soon rename a stretch of Southern Boulevard near Mar-a-Lago as “President Donald J. Trump Boulevard”
- The Florida Legislature and Gov. DeSantis approved the designation; and local commissioners voted Tuesday
- Signage will go up soon, with similar Trump-named roads already appearing in other states
A busy stretch of road near President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate will soon carry a name that’s hard to miss: “President Donald J. Trump Boulevard.”
Palm Beach County commissioners voted Tuesday night on a resolution to give an honorary designation to 4 miles of Southern Boulevard, stretching from Palm Beach International Airport to Mar-a-Lago.
The Florida Legislature passed the measure earlier this year, and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it into law last month. But final approval had to come from local officials before signs could go up.
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said the president is grateful. “The great state of Florida is honoring President Donald J. Trump, whose beautiful Mar-a-Lago Club is a long-standing staple in the Sunshine State,” Rogers said. “Renaming this road to ‘Donald J. Trump Boulevard’ commemorates his iconic legacy and the historically significant moments that have made this President the greatest of all time.”
“The President will always be grateful to Floridians for their unwavering support as MAGA loyalists, who voted for him all three times,” she added.
The road will still be officially known as Southern Boulevard for mail and emergency services, but Google Maps has already started showing the Trump name.
The Florida Department of Transportation will be installing honorary signage in the coming weeks. The renamed route will cut through West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, though neither city has taken a formal stance.
Similar efforts to honor Trump have popped up across the country—in states like Arizona, Kentucky, Missouri, and Montana.
