More About Miami
Located in the far south coast of Florida perched between a mangrove swamp and a barrier of reef, Miami was founded 100 years ago, when a tycoon called Henry Flagler extended his railroad to carry citrus fruits from the frost-free south. Development was slow until the Florida land boom in the 1920s. Today the city is one of America's most ultra modern cities & the second largest in Florida.
Being known as a "Drug Capital of America, Latin- America, The Magic City, American Casablanca", classifies it being a multi-cultural city. It is a gateway to South and Central America and the third most popular city in the United States for international visitors.
The city's real genius, however, is that, in recent years, it has successfully absorbed the different cultures of its multi-ethnic population and been influenced by them all - and now Miami is considered a model community for the 21st century and a compelling example of America's changing face.
The City of Miami is in the process of developing a Parks and Open Spaces Master Plan to generate a citywide vision of Miami's 21st century parks and recreation system. However, there are still places like Miami Downtown, Miami Beach, Little Havana, Key Biscayne, Miami Seaquarium, Coconut Grove, Historical Museum of Southern Florida, etc. to visit & explore the place.
