==History== The CDP and Gun Club Road are both named after the Palm Beach Gun Club, a [[skeet shooting|skeet]] and target [[shooting range]] that originally opened in the town of [[Palm Beach, Florida|Palm Beach]] in 1911 and remained there until relocating to the modern-day Gun Club Estates area prior to the [[Korean War]]. A biography on [[Arthur Jackson (sport shooter)|Arthur Jackson]] dating to approximately 1952 notes that during the war, military personnel stationed at [[Palm Beach International Airport|PBI]] (then known as the [[Palm Beach Air Force Base]]) used the gun ranges for training. By the mid-1950s, however, the owners of the club relocated it to just north of the intersection of [[Jog Road]] and [[Florida State Road 802|Lake Worth Road]] (State Road 802) as homes for Gun Club Estates were being constructed.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/88186538/the-palm-beach-post/|author=Eliot Kleinberg|date=March 19, 2008|title=Gun club, military post shared range|page=14O|newspaper=The Palm Beach Post|accessdate=November 1, 2021|via=Newspapers.com}} {{free access}}</ref>
