History
The region where the city of Miami, Florida would later be established by Europeans was possessed for in excess of 1,000 years by the Tequesta Indians. Pedro Menéndez de Avilés and his men originally visited and guaranteed the region around Miami for Spain in 1566. A Spanish mission was laid out one year after the fact. Post Dallas was worked during the 1800s and thusly was a site of battling during the Subsequent Seminole War.
The Miami region was also called “Biscayne Narrows Country” in the early long stretches of its development. The couple of distributed accounts from that period portray the region as a wild that held a lot of commitment. The region was likewise portrayed as “one of the best structure locales in Florida.” Notwithstanding, the Incomparable Freeze of 1894 changed all that, and the harvests of the Miami region were the only ones in Florida that made due. Julia Tuttle, a nearby citrus cultivator, persuaded Henry Flagler, a railroad magnate, to extend his Florida East Coast Railroad to Miami. On July 28, 1896, Miami was formally consolidated as a city with a populace of a little more than 300.
