Area
Lamme and Oldakowski found that the Treasure Coast comprises the area from Palm Beach County north to the Space Coast (including Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties). They note, however, that Palm Beach County remains part of South Florida and the Miami metropolitan area. The Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, based in Stuart, uses a similar definition, and has jurisdiction over these four counties. Other sources exclude Palm Beach County.

Famous quotes containing the word area:
“Whatever an artist’s personal feelings are, as soon as an artist fills a certain area on the canvas or circumscribes it, he becomes historical. He acts from or upon other artists.”
—Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)
