Manalapan is a town in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States. ==History== United States President Benjamin Harrison granted George H. K. Carter a homestead in 1889 on the yet unnamed land. In 1931, the sparsely populated settlement was incorporated by Harold Stirling Vanderbilt as the “Town of Manalapan”.〔 A large share of the first settlers being natives of Manalapan, New Jersey caused the name to be selected. One of the most puzzling mysteries in Florida history was the disappearance of Circuit Judge Curtis Chillingworth who left a friend's home on the night of 14 June 1955, and went to their ocean-front cottage in Manalapan. The U.S. presidential yacht ''Sequoia'' was auctioned at the La Coquille Club in Manalapan on 25 March 1977 during the Carter administration, for US$270,000, as a symbolic cutback in Federal Government spending (annual cost to the U.S. Navy was $800,000) and to reduce signs of an "imperial presidency". The popular tourist restaurant John G's moved to Manalapan in 2011 from its location in Lake Worth where it had been for 30+ years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manalapan, Florida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
