Hypoluxo is a town in Palm Beach County, Florida, United States.

The town was incorporated in 1955[1] and is part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida.

One theory analyzed the name as composed of the Greek root "hypo-" (under, below average) and the Latin "lux" (light).

His son, Charlie W. Pierce reported that a Seminole woman told his mother that the Seminole name for Lake Worth was Hypoluxo, which he thought meant 'island', or as he put it using his marginal command of the English language: "water all around, no get out".

[10] Gannett and Hamilton carried the mail between the Lake Worth area and Miami as barefoot mailmen.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 2,687 people, 1,238 households, and 717 families residing in the town.

As of 2000, English as a first language accounted for 86.65% of all residents, while the mother tongues of French comprised 5.38%, Finnish consisted of 4.52%, Spanish was at 2.42%, and Italian made up 1.02% of the population.

For example, a seawall on the Intracoastal Waterway in Hypoluxo Park failed in 2019, leading to a dispute over whether the city would pay for repairs.
