Seems the northernmost point is 43° 07′ N where Chamaerops humilis naturally grows. A place called  Hyères-les-Palmiers.

According to Genera Palmarum 1987, p. 57-58 naturally 44°N in Europe / 33°N in America and 44°S in New Zealand.

36.4049° N in U.S.A if that is what you mean by America. This is on Monkey Island, N.C. This is currently the most northern known area where Sabal minor grow naturally.

What would be also interesting to find out is:

What are the highest known elevations in which palms naturally grow?

Not naturally, but naturalized.

That could be. I'm not sure what their natural range is, I just saw them growing in places they obviously weren't planted at.

Trachycarpus have naturalized in a lot of the UK and there are a few populations established above 50°N.

The pictures below are in a church garden that used to be the site of a nursery who pioneered exotic gardening in the UK in the 1800s. The nursery is long gone but the trachycarpus thrive!

It's in a tiny place called St-Just-In-Roseland in Cornwall, in the far South West of the UK. There are quite a few photos of it (not so many of the palms) online, and a pretty good article about the place is attached... Enjoy!
