Women Take Action in Coral Gables
In the late 19th century, Miami began its transformation from a small settlement to a city. The construction of the Florida East Coast Railway in 1896 connected Miami to the rest of the state, stimulating growth and attracting settlers. The region also benefitted from the Florida land boom of the 1920s, which brought an influx of investors and development to Miami-Dade County. However, the crash of the stock market in 1929 led to an economic depression that severely impacted the region.
Throughout the mid-20th century, Miami-Dade County experienced significant population growth and cultural shifts. In the 1950s and 1960s, many Cuban exiles fled to Miami following the Cuban Revolution, establishing a strong Cuban-American presence and shaping the city's culture and economy. The 1980s brought an influx of immigrants from Central and South America, further diversifying the population and contributing to Miami's status as a global hub.
In recent years, Miami-Dade County has faced challenges such as urban sprawl and issues related to climate change and sea-level rise. The county continues to be a major economic and cultural center, known for its vibrant arts scene, beautiful beaches, and diverse communities. It remains a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world to experience its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
