The Milton-Meyers Post was chartered by the American Legion in 1920. The post was named in honor of two Delray Beach residents who died while in service during World War I. The post building was constructed the next year, and was dedicated at 11:00, November 11, 1922, four years to the hour after the end of World War I. As of 2016, the building remained in use by the post, making it the oldest post in Florida that has always used the same building.[2]
