This is the only Palm Beach County, Florida that I'm opting to bring here. I've opted to PROD another very similar article, Dahlberg, Florida. However, this one is a bit trickier.

Google maps link. The only information I could find is this was basically a company town run by U.S. Sugar back in the day. That info comes from the obituary for Mr. Bryant's son-in-law; I've been unable to find any other sources. As far as I can tell, however, this fails both WP:GNG and WP:GEOLAND.

  • Comment: I was able to find some additional sources that confirms this was just a company town. It seems to have been called Azucar before it was platted by U.S. Sugar, but searches for Azucar returns even less information. Curbon7 (talk) 03:28, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • It should be noted, however, that the latter two sources are unusable as they are unreliable blogs. The first is a blog by a published historian focusing on abandoned locales, so I think that one is usable per WP:SPS, however. Curbon7 (talk) 03:39, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep While it seems like Bryant was never more than a company town for the sugar mill, the town and mill have nonetheless generated quite a bit of coverage through the years. There are several articles about its development in the 1960s [1] [2] [3], and many more about its closing in the 2000s [4] [5] [6] [7], plus one from ten years after the plant closed about its effect on the local economy [8]. It's debatable whether the mill or the town should be the primary topic of the article, since most of the coverage focuses on the mill and the town seems to have been an extension of it, but it's a notable topic regardless.
