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:
“If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines; but meet on what common ground remains,—if only that the sun shines, and the rain rains for both; the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
“Now for civil service reform. Legislation must be prepared and executive rules and maxims. We must limit and narrow the area of patronage. We must diminish the evils of office-seeking. We must stop interference of federal officers with elections. We must be relieved of congressional dictation as to appointments.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
