Gulf Stream is a town in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. The population of the town was at 954 as of the 2020 US Census. Gulf Stream was founded around 1916, and throughout the early 1920s, the planned community centered around the Gulf Stream County Club. The name of the town comes from its location on the Gulf Stream, a warm Atlantic Ocean current. Bessemer Properties, a real estate business venture controlled by the family of Henry Phipps, Jr., was responsible for creating the community that was briefly named after him, Phipps Beach, before it was ultimately renamed the Town of Gulf Stream when it was officially incorporated as a municipality in 1925.
