Gulf Stream, a town in Palm Beach County, was founded in 1925 by Bessemer Properties as a planned golf community beside Golf Stream Golf Club, which was itself established in 1924. The Town and the golf club took their name from the Florida Coast's Gulf Stream current.
Over the decades, the Town of Gulf Stream continued to grow while still adhering to the original Phipps vision of providing a place where residents and visitors can enjoy understated, yet elegant living. The old “cottages” of post-World War II were replaced by larger golf estate homes that showed the changing tastes and lifestyles of the area's golf home residents.

The community has approximately 525 golf housing units, the majority of which were designed by renowned Palm Beach architects, including Maurice Fatio, John Volk, and Howard Major. Several of the community's original golf homes still exist and have not changed their appearance from the 1920s.
