== Fun facts ==
* The origin of the name "Hypoluxo" is disputed. One theory analyzed the name as composed of the Greek root "hypo-" (under, below average) and the Latin "lux" (light). Hannibel Pierce settled on Hypoluxo Island with his family in 1873. 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". The name that the Pierces wrote as "Hypoluxo" was given as "Opoloccha" in a history posted by the town. J. Clarence Simpson, citing William A. Read, states that the name is from the Creek-Seminole Hapo, meaning "mound" and Plotski, meaning "round", thus "round mound".
* The town is home to Hypoluxo Scrub Natural Area.
* Hypoluxo is almost entirely residential, and has very little amenities to offer. It has a marina and yacht club, a karate center, Mr. A's Grocery, and that's about it.
