| About Miami-Dade County FL |
Miami-Dade County is located
in the southeastern part of the state of Florida and is one of three counties
that comprise the South Florida metropolitan area.
Dade County was created in 1836. It was named for Major Francis L. Dade, a soldier
killed in 1835 in the Second Seminole War, at what has since been named the Dade
Battlefield.
The name was changed to Miami-Dade County on July 22, 1997.
The original Dade County settlements were all built near the Biscayne Bay, but
the great influx of new residents, in the early 1900s, made it necessary to build
canals to drain the uninhabitable land of the Everglades.
The steady arrival of newcomers gave way to the Florida Land Boom of the 1920's,
but transportation problems, a major hurricane and, finally, the Great Depression,
brought the Boom to a halt. |
Steady growth continued, however,
and in the years following World War Two, the county has become a major metropolitan
area.
The arrival of Cuban refugees in the 1960s and 1980s, plus a large influx of other
immigrants, has transformed modern Miami-Dade County into a multi-cultural society.
In 1991, the population of Dade County was nearly two million.
Tourism and transportation are among the major industries, along with light industry,
construction and fishing.
There are twenty-five incorporated towns and cities in Miami-Dade County.
The largest, at around 350,000 people, is the county seat, Miami. |
