Miami Beach History

As with much of Florida, Miami Beach was first settled by the Spaniards.  Although the Spanish never established a permanent colonial settlement there, they established several settlements involved with trading and fishing.

The community didn’t really see major growth until after 1821, when the Americans took Florida from Spain and established it as a U.S. Territory.  In 1845, Florida was granted statehood.

Since then, Miami Beach has morphed into a burgeoning cosmopolitan city that touts a diverse population, vibrant local economy and impressive residential neighborhoods and resorts at every turn.

Today, the city is comprised of several distinctive areas, including South Beach as well as Downtown Miami.  Each of these communities offers its own unique culture and way of life.

There’s Always Something to Do in Miami Beach

Perhaps one of the most famous recreational attractions in Miami Beach is its Art Deco District, which has been featured in such movies as Scarface and The Birdcage.

The Art Deco District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, features the largest collection of Art Deco architecture in the world.  Other architectural styles, including Mediterranean and Streamline Moderne, are also featured in this area.

Then there’s Lincoln Road, which is a Mecca for bicyclists, roller-bladers and the like.  Located between 16th and 17th Streets, Lincoln Road is also a fantastic place to go for shopping and art crawls.

Miami Beach is also well-known for its vibrant arts scene.  Every December, the city hosts Art Basel Miami Beach, which is considered by many to be one of the largest art shows in the country.
