Way back when the state of Florida was granted statehood, what we today call Lake Worth was an actual fresh water lake. No one would pay more to live on the ‘C-17 Canal’ but the ‘Earman River’, that sounds nice, someone just might pay me extra to live on that. ![]() Why we call it the Earman River I thought we had picked up as a marketing name from the the developer of North Palm Beach. ![]() In fact though, this is NOT a river, it is the C-17 canal managed by the South Florida Water Management District.
