Miami Springs, Florida

Miami Springs was always intended to be a residential community and it was originally known as Country Club Estates. In 1926, when the first mayor and council were elected, there were a total of 128 residences. Today the city has a population of 13, 712 residents!

It was Glenn Curtiss who was instrumental in developing the airport to the south and as the airport grew, so did Miami Springs. Pan Am's famous overseas "Clipper" flights originated southeast of the city until moving later to Coconut Grove's Dinner Key.

In the midst of the remarkable growth of the aviation industry, much of Curtiss' careful planning constraints are visible today and continue to influence the Springs character and commitment to green areas and orderly growth. This is a wonderful community that continues to grow and value its rich, historical traditions.
