Belle Glade has a lot of history. Years ago, many Haitians, Cubans, and Jamaicans would be sent over during the sugar cane harvest season to help with the harvest. They would literally make lines miles long and walk down the fields chopping cane. Some of those people ended up staying. The sugar cane fields were the whole economy of belle glade. Now all those thousands of jobs were replaced by machinery, so the people and families who came were left without work, leading Belle Glade to be as poor as it is now. Most of the people who work for the sugar mills now (including myself) come from West Palm. One thing about Belle Glade, if you know where to go, you can get some amazing food. Also fun fact, I believe Belle Glade/Pahokee still puts out more nfl players than any other town in the world. There is a lot of culture out there once you get to know the place.

Y'all got me hungry talking about food, lol. If you need some good recommendations for food in WPB, I got you... Cuban - Havana is good, Don Ramon is better. Jamaican - Curly's takeout is fantastic! Puerto Rican - Isla Del Coqui and La Cosinita Latina are both good. Mexican - Tacos Al Carbon is decently priced but my girl prefers paying just a little more downtown at Rivales (still cheaper than Rocco's) Breakfast - Clary's Corner is a little hidden hole in the wall dive in Lake Worth with bomb ass breakfast. Pete's Place, Keke's, and Deli Inn are all good choices too though. Subs - I like Totally Awesome Subs the best but John Smith Subs is a little cheaper. Notable Mention - Benny's On The Beach a little overpriced but got a good atmosphere being right on the Lake Worth Beach
