¶ Geography and communities
Enacted under Florida’s 2022 decennial redistricting plan, Florida House District 93 shifted from its historic coastal Broward County footprint (Fort Lauderdale/Pompano Beach/Lauderdale-by-the-Sea) inland to central Palm Beach County, establishing an inland suburban, equestrian, and commuter district bridging coastal-adjacent urban areas with western agricultural boundaries.
- Municipalities Included (Full or Partial):
- Village of Wellington: Premier equestrian, master-planned residential, and commercial center of the district (where Gerwig served as Mayor from 2016 to 2024 and Councilwoman from 2010 to 2016). Wikipedia

- Unincorporated central Palm Beach County tracts buffering Forest Hill Boulevard, Lake Worth Road, and Southern Boulevard.
- Gated golf and residential developments buffering the western periphery of West Palm Beach and the northern fringes of the Agricultural Reserve.
- Key Transportation & Equestrian Corridors:
- State Road 882 (Forest Hill Boulevard): Primary east-west commercial, governmental, and transit artery linking Greenacres and Wellington.
- State Road 80 (Southern Boulevard): Critical multi-lane regional expressway running along the northern perimeter, carrying heavy commuter and freight traffic between coastal West Palm Beach and the Glades agricultural basin.
