Mayor Jim Humpage
Fifty years ago the
Village of Tequesta was
one man's dream of para-
dise. Today that dream
has transpired into the
home of over 5000 resi-
dents who feel they have found their little
slice. Originally a retirement community,
Tequesta's demographics have changed
and that all familiar yellow school bus
now makes its daily rounds.
In my 40 years of exposure the
changes have been dramatic. Things were
picking up when we were exposed to the
bowling alley, Piggly Wiggly Market and
the Truck Stop, with its unpaved parking
lot. Cato's Bridge to the island on Beach
Road swung in the middle and the Snook
were piled up like cord wood below it.
Yes, we all reminisce how it used to
be, but we still remain the Village of Te-
questa. Webster's' definition of a Village-
"larger than a town but smaller than a
hamlet". Has a nice ring to it, don't you
think? Nestled between the Loxahatchee
River, Intracoastal Waterway and the At-
lantic Ocean, we have found our little bit
of heaven.
Today we are afforded many of the
21St century comforts. First class would
best describe our municipal complex,
public safety and recreational facilities.
While progress may sometimes be trouble-
some, the Village has always moved slowly

Our Indian Story...
In the 60's and 70's, Tequesta's Indian logo looked
like an advertisement for Taco Bell.
In preparation for Tequesta's 25th Anniversary,
the Loxahatchee Historical Society was contacted.
We asked for an accurate picture or drawing of our
Indian.
When it was received, we double-checked its accu-
racy with Bessie DuBois, our venerable local histo-
rian. Bessie glanced at the illustration, smiled, and
said "Oh No! That Indian lived up near Daytona
Beach! Our Indian was the JAEGA-JOBE!"
The late Gwyn Corbett worked with Bessie and her
knowledge of our Indian (which was mainly derived
from Jonathan Dickinson's Journal). When Gwyn
completed her research and finalized the drawing
that is now our Village's symbol, it was approved and
blessed by Bessie.
And so we present to you Our Indian!

In Memoriam for Gwyn Corbett
who spent countless hours of
research to create the
proper depiction of the true
first inhabitants of Tequesta-
The Jaega Indians
for Tequesta s 25th Anniversary
The following
excerpts are
from an intrigu-
ingly thorough
study on Indi-
ans of the area
as they relate
to the selection
of the name
"Tequesta" for
our Village. The
material is part
of a comprehen-
sine manuscript by Gwyn Corbett.
Contrary to what we all thought, the
Tequesta Indians never lived here perma-
nently. That bit of folklore which led to the
selection of the charming name for the Vil-
lage seems to be historically disproved. But
still, the Tequesta were nomads...so let's
read what Gwyn had to say about the Te-
questa and their "kinfolk", the Jaega for
the 25th Anniversary Commemorative
Booklet.
By Gwyneth D. Corbett
Theu Liked Inlets
"The Tequesta Indians (Tegesta) were a
southern Florida aboriginal tribe that oc-
cupied most of the present Dade County
and as far north as Pompano in Broward
County. To the west and south their lands
merged with the Calusa and boundaries
wavered from time to time as that more
powerful tribe dominated Tequesta settle-
ments."
"At various times the Tequesta were
also in the Keys. They occupied the Ever-
glades only around the edges. Their

Indian Story continued...
existing is centuries and centuries of
Jaega debris. A shard of pottery dated 500
BC was found there and is in the DuBois
collection of artifacts.
It is an interesting fact that corn
was grown on then dry land, near Lake
Okeechobee in 500BC and dated possibly
even 500 years earlier. (Not planted by the
Jaegas however.)
Florida was the home of more than
100,000 Indians when Christopher Co-
lumbus firs` wiled to the
new world in 1492. The
Indians were
dents of no-
dian hunters
the descen-
madic In-
who had en-
tered the state in
search of game at least 10,000 years ear-
lier. But today there are no living descen-
dants of these first Floridians. Why?
European diseases, warfare, and enslave-
ment completely destroyed these aborigi-
nal people during the 200 years following
the founding of St. Augustine in 1565. By
1720 the northern Florida Indian was
non-existent and by 1763 the south Flor-
ida Indian had also. Indians who survived
were taken by the Spaniards on ships to
Cuba for slavery.
Dickinson Meets the Jaegas
Numerous visits by Spanish explor-
ers occurred even before 1492. Indians
were speaking the Spanish language cen-
turies before the shipwreck of the
~ 1957-The Ever/y Brothers'song "Wake Up Little
* Susie"is banned in Boston because it is thought to

Reformation' with the Jonathan Dickin-
son group aboard in 1696. Without Jona-
than Dickinson's journal of the shipwreck,
we would not have any historical facts of
their encounters with `our' Jaega Indians.
The shipwreck occurred on Jupiter
Island, north of the Jupiter Inlet and par-
allel to the entrance of Jonathan Dickin-
son State Park on U.S. Highway 1. There
on the beach after 8 or 9 hours, they were
greeted by violent Jaegas who spoke some
Spanish. The Dickinson group was es-
corted south across the inlet to the Jaega
"town". Thus the journey to Philadelphia
begins (but that's another story).
Physical Traits
Males were approximately 6 feet
tall, of muscular build and primitive facial
features, with long, sharp noses. Dark,
unwashed hair was worn in the t r a d i -
tional style of the ancestor tribe

Cassena was prized because it strength-
ened and nourished the body but did not
go to the head. (Note the Jaega, in plun-
dering the Dickinson shipwreck, took eve-
rything except rum, port, molasses and
beef.)
r . _ -- _ a
Jaegas had primitive tools and
weapons. The only iron or metal available
was from their salvage of shipwrecks.
They were hunters and gatherers. Weap-
ons were used mostly for obtaining food.
They hunted fowl, game animals and fish
using shell, stones, bones, and metal
pieces from wrecks; securing them to
limbs and branches with reeds and fash-
ioning them into hatchets, spears, and
bow and arrows.
~,~.
The Atlatl or spear-thrower was a tool the Jaega
used to achieve greater velocity in spear throwing
A Healthful Diet
The Jaega diet consisted mostly of
oysters, clams, turtle and turtle eggs,
manatee, whale, deer, bear, raccoons, wild
turkeys, koontie roots, pigeon plum rose
apples, huckleberries, acorns, sea grapes,
coca-plums, wild grapes, prickly pears,
plantains, and palmetto berries. Jonathan
Dickinson related the palm berries, which
were served constantly and considered in
great esteem by the Jaega and Ais, to taste
like rotten cheese steeped in tobacco.
Jaega jewelry was made from fish
and shark teeth, animal teeth and bones,
and fish scales. The shipwrecks furnished
jewelry in silver and gold. However, it ap-
pears the Jaegas did not wear these finds,
as did other tribes along the coast.
In the area of the beach and dunes,
Jonathan Dickinson described what he
saw upon reaching the beach from the
wreck: "The wilderness country looked very
dismal, having no trees, only sand hills
covered with shrubby Palmetto, the stalks
of which were prickly and there was no
walking amongst them. I espied a place al-
most afurlong within that beach being a
bottom." (This was the location approxi-
mately in a line parallel to the entrance of
Jonathan Dickinson State Park on the
Southern end of Hobe Sound Beach.)
The name Tekesta/Tequesta as translated by the Chief of the
Taino Tribe: Te: meaning "to be"; K~: meaning "Earth or land";
and Sta: meaning "Good". As it stands, Tequesta means
"We the People of the Good Earth"

Historic Jupiter-
Tequesta
From Ponce De Leon to Perry Como
By: Bessie Wilson DuBois
Archeologists tell us that Jupiter on
the lower east coast of Florida has been
inhabited for nearly 2,500 years. The
name Jupiter Inlet has appeared on early
Florida maps since 1770. Certainly this
place, with its winding rivers and blue-
green tides, has a warm lived-in atmos-
phere and a feeling of antiquity that has
an unfailing attraction for new residents
and holds the old ones wedded to its
charms.
Sound. When the English arrived in 1763,
the Hoe-bay seemed the Spanish version
of Jove, which they in turn changed to
Jupiter and it has never been altered.
The great shell mound overlooking
the inlet was at that time 600 feet long
and over 20 feet high. Its layers of oyster
shells still show in places the blackened
remains of campfires of those prehistoric
tribes who lived here as long ago as 500
B.C. As we wonderingly handle the broken
pottery, Celts, shell ornaments, tools and
other relics found in the mounds, it be-
comes one of the most beguiling mysteries
of the Jupiter area. Tribes from near and
far must have come to feast on the lus-
cious oysters, fish and game.

The lighthouse was built shortly be-
fore the Civil War and celebrated the cen-
tennial of its first lighting July 10, 1960.
It stands on a
61 acre tract
which was part
of the 9,088
acres of Fort
Jupiter Reser-
vation, set
aside after the
Seminole In-
dian War. One
of the engage-

war was fought
on the Loxa- ~ +~ ; ~ g,,r

Another steamer, found too large to navi-
gate the shallows was tied up here and
became a floating hotel. Distinguished
guests, notably ex-President and Mrs.
Cleveland, enjoyed fishing expeditions
from this hostelry. The steamers were met
by a narrow gauge train known from its
stations of Jupiter, Juno, Venus and Mars
(the latter mythical) as the Celestial Rail-
road. The genial engineer greeted his pas-
sengers by playing Dixie on the whistle
and was always willing to stop the train
for hunting if his passengers wanted to go
bag a deer or wild turkey. The fare for this
seven and one-half mile trip was ten cents
a mile. At the head of Lake Worth the pas-
sengers again continued their trip south
by boat. Pioneers remember with delight
the dances at the old Dade County Court-
house with the little train chugging in
with flounced ladies, young and old, from
the neighboring homesteads and uni-
formed mustachioed young men from the
lighthouse and Jupiter Life Savings Sta-
tion on the beach.

Tequesta is Chartered
After an early, but abortive, attempt to create an all-encompassing
"Village of Jupiter Beach"-shown on the rough sketch on the previous
page- Charles Martyn and friends moved to incorporate the confines of the
present day Tequesta Country Club community. (Jupiter Beach would
have included all land north of Jupiter proper to the Martin County line, -
and from the middle of the Loxahatchee River to the Atlantic Ocean.) - _
Hence, under "Chapter 57-1915, House Bill No. 1492," the Village of _' - -
Tequesta was created. It was merely a piece of legislation enacted by the '""-`~"""'~~
State of Florida, which "became as law without the governor's approval," an Charles Martyn (L)
inauspicious but legally acceptable beginning. & Realtor Tom ~a~y
The Rules Are Set
Some of the Charter's major contents cover the Village's "metes and bounds," in-
cluding "to a point in the center line of the Loxahatchee (Jupiter) River; thence mean-
dering westerly and north-westerly along the center line of said river....all described
land being located in Palm Beach County, Florida"
Then our government is prescribed: "It will be vested in a governing body to be
known as `Village Council of Tequesta', composed of five members to be called Council-
men..." The eligibility: more than 21 years old, a registered voter of the municipality,
citizen of the United States, and an owner of real property in the village.
It said, "The first Council shall be appointed until successors are elected and
qualified. Within 90 days of enactment, the Council is to appoint one member to be
mayor, and appoint a Village Treasurer, a Tax Assessor, a Tax Collector and a Village
Clerk, all subject to control of Council." These rules still stand.
Elections Detailed
The Charter also stipulates: "On the third Tuesday of March, 1960, an election by
qualified electors shall be held to elect members of Council and Councilmen in groups
1, 3 and 5 shall be elected in the even years and in Groups 2 and 4 in the odd years. All
elected and appointed officials are to take an oath. Vacancy in any elective office may be
remedied by an appointment. Council members may be removed for misfeasance, non-
feasance or malfeasance or any conduct of an immoral or criminal nature committed
while holding office. Council also has the power to employ and retain an engineer and
an attorney and any other additional personnel deemed necessary."
Article V(36) also reads: "To regulate the use of recreational facilities owned by the
Village, to charge a reasonable fee for the use thereof, or to restrict the use thereof to
property owners in, or residents of said village."

Realizing certain incorporation expenses had been incurred, and operational
funds would be needed during the first year, the Council was authorized to borrow
money from an "authorized lender, or lenders, corporate or otherwise, in an amount not
exceeding" the anticipated expenditures they had previously outlined. Expectations in-
cluded: municipal dock-$1,000; police department-$1,500; fire department-$300; legal
fees-$1,800; totaling $8,100.00. The Bank of Palm Beach 8v Trust Company of Palm
Beach, Florida was designated as the official depository for the Village, with the Treas-
urer the sole person authorized to draw checks.
Strict Code Adopted
Next to the firm of Winters, Cook Brackett and Lord was to become the Village At-
torney, at a basic fee of $50 per month, with possible additional fees.
"Councilmen heard the first reading of Ordinance # 1 and adopted in unani-
mously." The same was true of Ordinance #2. A.A. Flanagan was appointed Village
Judge, sworn in and signed his oath. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m., the minutes
thereof being attested by Village Clerk, Walter F. Lathrop.
You might be interested to know that there were 12 Sections in that very first or-
dinance, established by the Village Council. They dealt with disturbance of the peace,
disturbance of religious worship, intoxication, vagrancy, prostitution and gambling.
Fines were stiff, as were sentences...up to $500 and up to 90 days. That the village
founders wanted a good, clean, quiet and safe village is well attested by Section 7:
"That all rogues and vagabonds, idle and dissolute persons, tramps who go about
begging, persons who use juggling or unlawful games or plays, common drunkards,
common night-walkers, pilferers, stubborn children, common pipers or fiddlers, lewd,
wanton and lascivious persons in speech or behavior, common railers and brawlers,
persons who neglect their calling or employment, or have no visible means of support,
or who misspend what they earn, and do not provide for themselves or their families,
and all other idle and disorderly persons, including those who habitually misspend their
time by frequenting a house of ill fame, gambling house or tippling shop shall be consid-
ered vagrants and deemed guilty of violating this ordinance." Get the message?

Many Faces... (continued)
The 1990's brought rapid change to
our sleepy little village. Multi-family devel-
opments were sprouting up making the
Village more affordable to a younger gen-
eration. Tequesta Plaza was phasing out
as Publix had moved to the east side of
US 1 and Tequesta Drive. Smaller stores,
which relied on Publix traffic either relo-
Gated or closed doors. Tequesta Plaza was
passe-too old for modern-day Tequesta.
In came the wrecking ball. In its place, a
parking lot for One Main Street-a newly
developed shop and office complex.
One Main
Street
As the 1990's waned and the new
millennium was knocking at our door, Te-
questa was ready. The Fire-Rescue Build-
ing was in progress; Constitution Park
was rapidly becoming a jewel for the Vil-
lage and plans were in the works for a
new Village Complex. The Tequesta Utili-
ties Water Treatment Plant was in pro-
gress and The Village was growing and
economically sound.
Next up for completion was the
Fire-Rescue Station. The staff and EMS
were excited to be housed in a state-of-
the-art facility after being in the old fire
station for 30+ years. Tequesta's always
been proud of its Fire-Rescue Depart-
ment's response time and the newly ac-
quired equipment has only made it better.

ormally, hindsight is always
better than foresight, however,
in the creation of Constitution Park, a few
gifted people in the area had foresight that
out thought the Village of Tequesta.
In the 1960's when Tequesta was in
its infancy, there was not a lot of attention
paid to children of any age. There were no
schools, parks or recreational activities of
any kind. To remedy the situation, Suzy
Carr and the board of newly formed or-
ganization, the Jupiter-Tequesta Junior
Citizens (JTJC), took the matter in hand
and ran with it...much to the dismay of
the Village Council at the time. Being an
organization dedicated to the younger
generation with children of their own,
Suzy and a handful of board members
were blessed with a donation of almost
three acres of land on Seabrook Road by
the Schlussmeyer family of Tequesta for a
building and park for the communities'
children.
oy nune~e terns
and others petitioned the Village Coun-
cil to develop the land into a park for
the children of Jupiter and Tequesta.
Literally going door to door, what they
found was the majority of residents
wanted the park-a real working park,
not a "passive" park with no amenities
and no activities, which was the Coun-
c i 1 ' s recommendation
In the meantime, the JTJC Build-
ing was erected with donations by local
builders and volunteers. JTJC members
worked hard, renting out the building to
raise money for its upkeep and utilities.
There were battles of the bands, dupli-
cate bridge, YMCA Summer Camps,
dances, weddings...anything to keep the
building afloat until the Village realized
its value...almost 30 years later!
The Village wanted no part of it. Tequesta Parks & Recreation

Busch Wildlife Sanctuary...a Helpful Neighbor
Photos by Sondra Wakefield
When a story and photos on the
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter were
requested to be included in the Tequesta
Tribute Booklet, it was a surprise since
the commemorative booklet's focus is the
Village of Tequesta. What ensued, how-
ever, was an explanation of the work done
by the Sanctuary even in Tequesta.
Quite often, in the "wee" hours of
the morning, Tequesta proper is visited by
wildlife in the form of deer, raccoons, pos-
sums, occasional bobcats and other wild-
life that have lost their way. David Hitzig,
Executive Director of Busch Wildlife Sanc-
tuary, calls in his "troops" to rescue the
animals and care for them if needed and
release them back in the wild.
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is a non-
profit organization founded in 1994 with a
grant, in part, by the Peter W. Busch
Family Foundation. It is located at 2500
Jupiter Park Drive, Jupiter. The Sanctu-
ary encompasses 25 acres in Jupiter with
~~~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~~~ a variety of educa-
l~!'k tional, medical,
~~' „'' ~ ~ and just plain fun
things to do. More
than 100,000 peo-
ple enjoy the edu-
~' cational programs
` ~~ ' ' each year. Over
4,000 animals are
treated and re-
leased each year.
Junior Naturalist
Wildlife Programs and even birthday party
programs are some of the things available
to experience at Busch's. Daily, in the
Sanctuary's Amphitheater, a wildlife show
is presented to anyone who wants to at-
tend. Weekdays the show is at 3 pm while
on weekends, two shows are available, 11
am 8v 2:30 pm. The Sanctuary is open
from Monday through Saturday from 10
am to 4:30 pm and anyone can walk right
in and experience the excitement of seeing
eagles, panthers, foxes, otters and others
being healed and released in the wild.
The Hospital/Administration Center
houses injured animals in for rehabilita-
tion as well as artifacts of animals and a
gift shop, whose proceeds go to help pre-
serve the Sanctuary. Admission to the
Sanctuary is free but donations are gladly
accepted.
I grew up here, Tequesta is home, and I am
happy to be part of the Golden Tribute-it
should be a celebration for everyone to en-
joy...together, we have all helped to make such a
.Great Village!
