Miami is a major center and leader in finance, commerce, culture, arts, and international trade.[13][14]Miami's metropolitan area is by far the largest urban economy in Florida, with a 2017gross domestic productof $344.9 billion.[15]In a 2018UBSstudy of 77 world cities, Miami was the third-richest city in the U.S. and the third-richest globally inpurchasing power.[16]Miami is amajority-minoritycity with aHispanic and Latinopopulation of 310,472, or 70.2 percent of the city's population, as of 2020.[17]

Downtown Miamihas among the largest concentrations of international banks in the U.S. and is home to several large national and international companies.[citation needed]TheHealth Districtis home to several majorUniversity of Miami-affiliated hospital and health facilities, includingJackson Memorial Hospital,the nation's largest hospital with 1,547 beds,[18]and theMiller School of Medicine,the University of Miami's academic medical center and teaching hospital, and others engaged in health-related care and research.PortMiami,the city's seaport, is the busiestcruiseport in the world in both passenger traffic and cruise lines.[19]

The Miami metropolitan area is the second-most visited city or metropolitan statistical area in the U.S. afterNew York City,with over four million visitors in 2022.[20]Miami has sometimes been called the "Gateway to Latin America" because of the magnitude of its commercial and cultural ties toLatin America.[21]In 2022, Miami ranked seventh in the U.S. in business activity, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, and political engagement.[22]

Toponymy

edit

Miami was named after theMiami River,derived fromMayaimi,the historic name ofLake Okeechobeeand the Native Americans who lived around it.[23]Miami is sometimes colloquially referred to asThe305,Magic City,Gateway to the Americas,Gateway to Latin America,Capital of Latin America,[1]andVice City.

History

edit
In 1896, approximately 400 men gathered in the building pictured on the left and voted to incorporate Miami.

TheTequestatribe occupied the Miami area for around 2,000 years before contact with Europeans. A village of hundreds of people, dating to 500–600 BCE, was located at the mouth of theMiami River.It is believed that the entire tribe migrated toCubaby the mid-1700s.[24]

Settlement

edit

In 1566, admiralPedro Menéndez de Avilés,Florida's first governor, claimed the area forSpain.A Spanishmissionwas constructed one year later. Spain, and brieflyBritain,ruled Florida until it ceded it to the United States in 1821. In 1836, the U.S. builtFort Dallason the banks of the Miami River as part of their development of theFlorida Territoryand their attempt to suppress and remove theSeminoles.As a result, the Miami area became a site of fighting in theSecond Seminole War.

Founding

edit

Miami is noted as the only major city in the United States founded by a woman.Julia Tuttle,a localcitrus growerand a wealthyClevelandnative, was the original owner of the land upon which Miami was built.[25]In the late 19th century, the area was known as "Biscayne Bay Country", and reports described it as a promising wilderness and "one of the finest building sites in Florida".[26][27]TheGreat Freezeof 1894–1895 hastened Miami's growth, as the crops there were the only ones in Florida that survived. Julia Tuttle subsequently convincedrailroad tycoonHenry Flaglerto extend hisFlorida East Coast Railwayto the region, for which she became known as "the mother of Miami".[28][29]Miami was officially incorporated as a city on July 28, 1896, with a population of just over 300.[30]

20th century

edit

During the early 20th century, migrants from theBahamasand African-Americans constituted 40 percent of the city's population.[31]: 25 When landlords began to rent homes to African-Americans around Avenue J, what would later become NW Fifth Avenue, a gang of white men with torches marched through the neighborhood and warned the residents to move or be bombed.[31]: 33 

Miami prospered during the 1920s with an increase in population and development in infrastructure as northerners moved to the city. The legacy ofJim Crowwas embedded in these developments. Miami's chief of police at the time,H. Leslie Quigg,did not hide the fact that he, like many other white Miami police officers, was a member of theKu Klux Klan.Unsurprisingly, these officers enforced social codes far beyond the written law. Quigg, for example, "personally and publicly beat a colored bellboy to death for speaking directly to a white woman".[31]: 53 [32]

The collapse of theFlorida land boom of the 1920s,the1926 Miami Hurricane,and theGreat Depressionin the 1930s slowed development. WhenWorld War IIbegan, Miami became a base for U.S. defense againstGerman submarinesdue to its prime location on the southern coast of Florida. This brought an increase in Miami's population; 172,172 people lived in the city by 1940. The city's nickname,The Magic City,came from its rapid growth, which was noticed by winter visitors who remarked that the city grew so much from one year to the next that it was like magic.[33]

AfterFidel Castrorose to power inCubafollowing theRevolutionin 1959, many wealthy Cubans sought refuge in Miami, further increasing the city's population. Miami's national profile expanded dramatically in the 1970s, particularly in 1972.[34]The region hosted both theDemocraticandRepublican National Conventionsin the1972 Presidential election.TheMiami Dolphinsalso made history with theirundefeated "perfect" season.The area's educational and cultural institutions also developed significantly in this period, positioning the city to service a larger and increasingly international population.[34]

Miami developed new businesses and cultural amenities as part of theNew Southin the 1980s and 1990s. At the same time, South Florida weathered social problems related todrug wars,immigration fromHaitiand Latin America, and the widespread destruction ofHurricane Andrew.[35][33]Racial and cultural tensions sometimes sparked, but Miami developed in the latter half of the 20th century as a major international, financial, and cultural center. It is the second-largest U.S. city with a Spanish-speaking majority (afterEl Paso, Texas), and the largest city with aCuban-Americanplurality.[36][37]

Geography

edit

Miami and its suburbs are located on a broad plain between theEvergladesto the west andBiscayne Bayto the east, which extends fromLake Okeechobeesouthward toFlorida Bay.The elevation of the area averages at around 6 ft (1.8 m)[38]above sea level in most neighborhoods, especially near the coast. The highest points are found along theMiami Rock Ridge,which lies under most of the eastern Miami metro. The main portion of Miami is on the shores of Biscayne Bay, which contains several hundred natural and artificialbarrier islands,the largest of which containsMiami BeachandSouth Beach.TheGulf Stream,a warmocean current,runs northward just 15 miles (24 km) off the coast, allowing Miami's climate to stay warm and mild all year.

Geology

edit

The surface bedrock under the Miami area is calledMiami ooliteor Miami limestone. This bedrock is covered by a thin layer of soil, and is no more than 50 feet (15 m) thick. Miami limestone formed as the result of the drastic changes in sea level associated with recentglacial periods,orice ages.Beginning some 130,000 years ago, theSangamonian Stageraised sea levels to approximately 25 feet (8 m) above the current level. All of southern Florida was covered by a shallow sea. Several parallel lines of reef formed along the edge of the submerged Floridaplateau,stretching from the present Miami area to what is now theDry Tortugas.[39]

The area behind this reef line was a large lagoon. Miami limestone formed throughout the area from the deposition of oolites and the shells ofbryozoans.Starting about 100,000 years ago, theWisconsin glaciationbegan lowering sea levels, exposing the floor of the lagoon. By 15,000 years ago, the sea level had dropped 300 to 350 feet (90 to 110 m) below the current level. The sea level rose quickly after that, stabilizing at the current level about 4,000 years ago, leaving themainlandof South Florida justabove sea level.[39]

Beneath the plain lies theBiscayne Aquifer,a natural underground source of fresh water that extends from southernPalm Beach CountytoFlorida Bay.It comes closest to the surface around the cities ofMiami SpringsandHialeah.[40]Most of theMiami metropolitan areaobtains its drinking water from the Biscayne Aquifer. As a result of the aquifer, it is not possible to dig more than 15 to 20 ft (5 to 6 m) beneath the city without hitting water, which impedes underground construction, though someunderground parking garagesexist. For this reason, themass transitsystems in and around Miami are elevated orat-grade.[39]

Most of the western fringes of Miami border theEverglades,a tropical marshland covering most of the southern portion of Florida.Alligatorsthat live in the marshes have ventured into Miami communities and onto major highways.[39]

A map of Miami's neighborhoods

Miami is split roughly into north, south, west, and Downtown areas. The heart of the city isDowntown Miami,which is on the eastern side and includes the neighborhoods ofBrickell,Virginia Key,Watson Island,andPortMiami.Downtown Miami is Florida's largest and most influential central business district, with many major banks, courthouses, financial headquarters, cultural and tourist attractions, schools, parks, and a large residential population.Brickell Avenuehas the largest concentration of international banks in the United States. Just northwest of Downtown is theHealth District,which is Miami's center for hospitals,research institutesandbiotechnology,with hospitals such asJackson Memorial Hospital,Bascom Palmer Eye Institute,and theUniversity of Miami'sMiller School of Medicine.[42]

The southern side of Miami includes the neighborhoods ofCoral Way,The Roads,andCoconut Grove.Coral Way is a historic residential neighborhood built in 1922 between Downtown andCoral Gables,and is home to many old homes and tree-lined streets. Coconut Grove, settled in 1825, and annexed into Miami in 1925, is a historic neighborhood with narrow, winding roads and a heavy tree canopy.[42][43]It is the location of Miami's City Hall atDinner Key,the formerCoconut Grove Playhouse,CocoWalk,and theCoconut Grove Convention Center.It is home to manynightclubs,bars, restaurants, andbohemianshops, which makes it very popular with localcollege students.Coconut Grove is known for its many parks and gardens, such asVizcaya Museum,The Kampong,The Barnacle Historic State Park,and numerous other historic homes and estates.[42]

The western side of Miami includes the neighborhoods ofLittle Havana,West Flagler,andFlagami.Although at one time a mostly Jewish neighborhood, today western Miami is home to immigrants from mostly Central America andCuba.The west central neighborhood ofAllapattahis a multicultural community of many ethnicities.[42]

The northern side of Miami includesMidtown,a district with a great mix of diversity ranging fromWest IndianstoHispanicstoEuropean Americans.TheEdgewaterneighborhood of Midtown is mostly composed of high-rise residential towers and is home to theAdrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.Wynwoodis an art district with ten galleries in former warehouses, as well as a large outdoor mural project. The wealthier residents of Miami usually live in theDesign Districtand theUpper Eastside,which has many 1920s homes as well as examples ofMiami Modern architecturein the MiMo Historic District.[44]The northern side of Miami also has notable African-American andCaribbeanimmigrant communities, includingLittle Haiti,Overtown(home of theLyric Theater), andLiberty City.[42]

Climate

edit
A summer afternoon thunderstorm rolling into Miami from theEverglades,July 2006

Miami has atropical monsoon climate(Köppen climate classificationAm)[45][46]with hot and wet summers and warm and dry winters.

Miami's sea-level elevation, coastal location, position just above theTropic of Cancer,and proximity to theGulf Streamshape its climate. Average winter high temperatures, from December to March, range from 76.4–80.3 °F (24.7–26.8 °C). January is the coolest month with an average daily temperature of 68.2 °F (20.1 °C). Low temperatures fall below 50 °F (10 °C) about 3 to 4 nights during the winter season,[citation needed]after the passage ofcold frontsthat produce what little rainfall that falls in the winter.

There are two basic seasons in Miami, a hot and wet season from May to October, and a warm and dry season from November to April. During the hot and wet season, daily thundershowers occur in the humid unstable air masses. The wet season in Miami is defined as the period during which the average dailydew pointtemperature is above 70 °F (21 °C). The rainy season typically begins on the first day that occurs, or within a few days later.[47]

Daily rainfall in Miami decreases sharply when the average daily dew point falls to 70 °F (21 °C) or below. In some years, a stalled front to the south of the Florida peninsula may cause rains to continue for a few more days. From 1956 to 1997, the date summer began ranged from April 16 to June 3, with a median date of May 21. In those same years, the date summer ended ranged from September 24 to November 1, with a median date of October 17.[48]

During summer, temperatures range from the mid-80s to low 90s °F (29–35 °C) and are accompanied by high humidity. The heat is often relieved in the afternoon by thunderstorms or asea breezethat develops off the Atlantic Ocean. Much of the year's 61.9 inches (1,572 mm) of rainfall occurs during this period.Dew pointsin the warm months range from 71.9 °F (22.2 °C) in June to 73.7 °F (23.2 °C) in August.[49]

Historical temperature extremes range from 27 °F (−2.8 °C) on February 3, 1917, to 100 °F (38 °C) on July 21, 1942.[50]While Miami has neverrecorded snowfallat any official weather station since records have been kept,snow flurriesfell in some parts of Miami on January 19, 1977.[51][52][53]The coldest daytime maximum temperature on record is 45 °F (7 °C) in December 1989 during theDecember 1989 United States cold wave.The coldest maximum temperature average between 1991 and 2020 stood at 59 °F (15 °C).[49]The warmest overnight low measured is 84 °F (29 °C) on several occasions.[49]The stability of summer overnight lows is underlined by the mean maximum annual overnight low of just one degree lower.[49]

Hurricane seasonofficially runs from June 1 to November 30, although hurricanes can develop beyond those dates. The most likely time for Miami to be hit is during the peak of theCape Verdeseason, which is mid-August to the end of September.[54]Although tornadoes are uncommon in the area, one struck in1925and another in1997.[55][56]Around 40% of homes in Miami are built uponfloodplainsand are considered as flood-risk zones.[57]

Miami falls within theDepartment of Agriculture's10b/11a planthardiness zone.[58]

Miami is one of the major coastal cities and major cities in the United States that will be most affected byclimate change.[59][60]Globally, it is one of the most at-risk cities, according to a 2020 report byResources for the Future.[61][62]Globalsea level rise,which in Miami is projected to be 21 inches (53 cm) to 40 inches (100 cm) by 2070, will lead to an increase in storm damage, more intense flooding, and will threaten Miami's water supply.[63][64][65]Other potential impacts of climate change include higher hurricane wind speeds and severe thunderstorms, which can bring about hail or tornadoes.[62]Some protective efforts are in place, including nourishing beaches and adding protective barriers, raising buildings and roads that are vulnerable, and restoring natural habitats such aswetlands.[62]Miami Beach has invested $500 million to protect roads, buildings, and water systems.[62]Real estate prices in Miami already reflect the increase in prices for real estate at a higher elevation within the city compared to real estate at a lower elevation.[66]

Miami is the largest city inSouth Florida,the second-largest city inFlorida,and is the anchor of the largest metropolitan area in Florida: theMiami metropolitan area,which has over 6 million residents. Despite Miami being home to less than a fourteenth (1/14) of the population of the metro area, it is an outlier compared to its neighbors, being nearly twice the size of the next-largest city in the metro:Hialeah.Miami has approximately a sixth of the population of its own county,Miami-Dade,which is the state's largest.

Miami had rapid growth in the first half of the twentieth century. Its population grew from 1,681 in the1900 censusto 249,276 in the1950 census.This made it Florida's largest city, a title it retained until theJacksonville Consolidation,when the city of Jacksonville absorbed most ofDuval County,nearly tripling its population. Since then, Miami has retained its spot as Florida's second-largest city.

Throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, Miami experienced a certain amount of stagnation in its population, with expansion slowing during the 1950s and 1960s before nearly halting in the next three decades as suburbanization occurred. Miami grew by 34.3% in the 1950s and 1960s as its population reached 334,859 at the1970 census.In the next three decades, it only grew 8.2%. By the time of the2000 census,Miami's population stood at 362,470.

In the 2000s and 2010s, spurred by high-rise construction in Downtown Miami, Edgewater, and Brickell, Miami's population began to grow quickly once more.[78]An estimate by the American Community Survey found that the downtown population, from Brickell north to Midtown Miami, grew nearly 40% between 2010 and 2018.[79]From 2000 to 2010, Miami's population grew by 10.2% and reached 399,457 in 2010.

In 1970, the Census Bureau reported Miami's population as 45.3% Hispanic, 32.9% non-Hispanic White, and 22.7% Black.[81]Miami's explosive population growth has been driven by internal migration from other parts of the country, up until the 1960s. From 1970 to 2000, population growth in Miami was stagnant, asnon-Hispanic WhiteMiamians left and significant immigration from Latin America, particularlyCuba,made up the balance.[82][83]Miami's Hispanic majority solidified itself in this period of time, and in 1985, Miami elected its first Cuban-born mayor,Xavier Suarez.

The non-Hispanic Black population of the city of Miami peaked in 1990 at almost 90,000, making up nearly a quarter of the population of Miami. Since then, Miami's non-Hispanic Black population has experienced a precipitous and steady decline. In the 2020 census, it was 52,447, only 11.7% of the population. Reasons for this include high costs in areas such asLiberty CityandLittle Haiti,compounded withgentrification.[84][85]

The non-Hispanic White population began to rebound in the twenty-first century, as the monolithically Hispanic areas in the Western and Central parts of Miami experienced population stagnation. This caused them to begin to be outweighed by migration into the Downtown region, from Latin America and the rest of the United States. This caused the non-Hispanic White population to rise from a nadir of 11.8% at the time of the2000 censusto 11.9% at the time of the2010 census.After this, the non-Hispanic White population grew significantly faster than Miami as a whole did during the 2010s. In the2020 census,non-Hispanic Whites were 14.0% of the population of Miami and numbered 61,829, the highest number since the 1980s. The non-Hispanic White population of Miami surpassed the non-Hispanic Black population of Miami in the 2010s.

Expressways and roads

edit
Venetian Causeway(left) andMacArthur Causeway(right) connectDowntownandSouth Beach.
State Road 886,also known as Port Boulevard, connectsDowntown MiamiandPortMiamioverBiscayne Bay.

Miami's road system is based along the numerical Miami grid whereFlagler Streetforms the east–westbaselineandMiami Avenueforms the north–southmeridian.The corner of Flagler Street and Miami Avenue is in the middle of Downtown in front of the DowntownMacy's(formerly theBurdine'sheadquarters). The Miami grid is primarily numerical so that, for example, all street addresses north of Flagler Street and west of Miami Avenue have "NW" in their address. Because its point of origin is in Downtown, which is close to the coast, the "NW" and "SW" quadrants are much larger than the "SE" and "NE" quadrants. Many roads, especially major ones, are also named (e.g.,Tamiami Trail/SW 8th St), although, with exceptions, the number is in more common usage among locals.

With few exceptions, within this grid north–south roads are designated as Courts, Roads, Avenues or Places (often remembered by their acronym), while east–west roads are streets, Terraces, Drives or occasionally Ways. Major roads in each direction are located at one mile intervals. There are 16blocksto each mile on north–south avenues, and 10 blocks to each mile on east–west streets. Major north–south avenues generally end in "7" – e.g., 17th, 27th, 37th/Douglas Aves., 57th/Red Rd., 67th/Ludlam, 87th/Galloway, etc., all the way west beyond 177th/Krome Avenue. One prominent exception is 42nd Avenue, LeJeune Road, located at the half-mile point instead.

Major east–west streets to the south of Downtown are multiples of 16, though the beginning point of this system is at SW 8th St, one half-mile south of Flagler ( "zeroth" ) Street. Thus, major streets are at 8th St., 24th St./Coral Way, 40th St./Bird, 56th/Miller, 72nd/ Sunset, 88th/N. Kendall, 104th (originally S. Kendall), 120th/Montgomery, 136th/Howard, 152nd/Coral Reef, 168th/Richmond, 184th/Eureka, 200th/Quail Roost, 216th/Hainlin Mill, 232nd/Silver Palm, 248th/Coconut Palm, etc., well into the 300s. Within the grid, odd-numbered addresses are generally on the north or east side, and even-numbered addresses are on the south or west side.

All streets and avenues inMiami-Dade Countyfollow the Miami grid, with a few exceptions, most notably inCoral Gables,Hialeah,Coconut Grove andMiami Beach.One neighborhood,The Roads,is named as such because its streets run off the Miami grid at a 45-degree angle, and therefore are all named roads.

Miami-Dade Countyis served by four Interstate Highways (I-75,I-95,I-195,I-395) and several U.S. Highways includingU.S. Route 1,U.S. Route 27,U.S. Route 41,andU.S. Route 441.

Some of the majorFlorida State Roads(and their common names) serving Miami are:

Miami has six majorcausewaysthat span over Biscayne Bay connecting the western mainland, with the eastern barrier islands along the Atlantic Ocean. TheRickenbacker Causewayis the southernmost causeway and connects Brickell toVirginia KeyandKey Biscayne.TheVenetian CausewayandMacArthur CausewayconnectDowntownwithSouth Beach.TheJulia Tuttle CausewayconnectsMidtownandMiami Beach.The79th Street Causewayconnects theUpper East SidewithNorth Beach.The northernmost causeway, theBroad Causeway,is the smallest of Miami's six causeways and connectsNorth MiamitoBay Harbor IslandsandBal Harbour.

In 2007, Miami was identified as having the rudest drivers in the United States, the second year in a row to have been cited, in a poll commissioned by automobile club AutoVantage.[284]Miami is also consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous cities in the United States for pedestrians.[285]

Public transportation

edit
Miami'sMetrorailis the city'srapid transitsystem and connects Miami with its outlying suburbs.
Tri-Railis Miami'scommuter railthat runs north–south from Miami's suburbs inWest Palm BeachtoMiami International Airport.

Public transportationin Miami is operated byMiami-Dade TransitandSFRTA,and includescommuter rail(Tri-Rail), heavy-railrapid transit(Metrorail), an elevatedpeople mover(Metromover), and buses (Metrobus). Miami has Florida's highest transit ridership as about 17% of Miamians use transit on a daily basis.[286]The average Miami public transit commute on weekdays is 90 minutes, while 39% of public transit riders commute for more than 2 hours a day. The average wait time at a public transit stop or station is 18 minutes, while 37% of riders wait for more than 20 minutes on average every day. The average single trip distance with public transit is 7.46 mi (12 km), while 38% travel more than 8.08 mi (13 km) in each direction.[287]

Miami's heavy-rail rapid transit system,Metrorail,is an elevated system comprising two lines and 23 stations on a 24.4-mile (39.3 km)-long line. Metrorail connects the urban western suburbs ofHialeah,Medley,and inner-city Miami with suburbanThe Roads,Coconut Grove,Coral Gables,South Miami,and urbanKendallvia the central business districts ofMiami International Airport,theHealth District,and Downtown. A free, elevatedpeople mover,Metromover,operates 21 stations on three different lines in greater Downtown Miami, with a station at roughly every two blocks of Downtown and Brickell. Several expansion projects are being funded by a transit development sales tax surcharge throughout Miami-Dade County.[288]

Tri-Rail,a commuter rail system operated by theSouth Florida Regional Transportation Authority(SFRTA), runs fromMiami International Airportnorthward toWest Palm Beach,making eighteen stops throughoutMiami-Dade,Broward,andPalm Beachcounties.[289]

TheMiami Intermodal Centeris a massive transportation hub servicingMetrorail,Amtrak,Tri-Rail,Brightline,Metrobus,Greyhound Lines,taxis,rental cars,MIA Mover,private automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians adjacent to Miami International Airport. Miami Intermodal Center was completed in 2010, and is serving about 150,000 commuters and travelers in the Miami area. Phase I ofMiamiCentralStation was completed in 2012, and the Tri-Rail part of Phase II was completed in 2015, but the construction of the Amtrak part remains delayed.

Two new light rail systems, Baylink and the Miami Streetcar, have been proposed and are currently in the planning stage. BayLink would connect Downtown withSouth Beach,and the Miami Streetcar would connect Downtown withMidtown.

Miami is the southern terminus ofAmtrak's Atlantic Coast services, running two lines, theSilver Meteorand theSilver Star,both terminating in New York City. The Miami Amtrak Station is located in the suburb ofHialeahnear theTri-Rail/Metrorail Stationon NW 79 St and NW 38 Ave. Current construction of the Miami Central Station will move all Amtrak operations from its current out-of-the-way location to a centralized location withMetrorail,MIA Mover,Tri-Rail,Miami International Airport,and theMiami Intermodal Centerall within the same station closer to Downtown. The station was expected to be completed by 2012,[290]but experienced several delays and was later expected to be completed in late 2014,[291]again pushed back to early 2015.[292]
