 The Oleta River in Miami-Dade County

The Oleta River in Miami-Dade County is a popular destination for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and amateur photographers. Oleta River State Park, located on NE 163rd Street in North South Beach, can get quite crowded, especially during peak times. Unlike many other parks, once they reach their capacity, they cease admissions. Perhaps it is the spectacular scenery and variety of activities available, including swimming, kayaking, biking, and paddle boarding, that contribute to its popularity.

Miami’s Art Deco District

Miami’s Art Deco District, There’s few places in America as well-known as Miami – and particularly South Beach – for their perfect weather, jet-setting clientele, and exclusive clubs, restaurants, and shops. They’re also home to some of the best examples of art deco art and architecture anywhere, with much of it dating from the art movement’s heyday in the 1920s and 1930s. While it is possible to conduct some research and self-guided exploration, many visitors opt for professionally guided tours, which are plentiful.

The Miami Children’s Museum

The Miami Children’s Museum is on a small island between Miami and South Beach. It has a lot of hands-on exhibits and activities about science, art, culture, and the world around us. People who live in south Florida can find it hard to go outside in the summer because of the high heat and high humidity. When you’re on a trip with kids.

 

History of North Miami

history of north miami

A Coast Guard captain during the Spanish-American War, Captain William H. Fulford was drawn to what is now North Miami Beach. In 1881, he went to Big Snake Creek (later renamed the Oleta River). He found this area of lowlands, marshes, and mangroves, a place to hide from the Atlantic Ocean’s storms. Oleta River State Park has a lot of history.

When Henry Flagler built the Florida East Coast Railway from West Palm Beach to Miami in 1896, he built depots at many places along the way. Small towns quickly grew up around the depots. There were many homesteaders who came to the area because they could get 160 acres of land for free. In 1897, Captain Fulford used the Homestead Act to get a 160-acre land patent from President Grover Cleveland.

During the 1890s, people started farming on the east side of the Oleta River, near where the river meets the ocean. In 1897, a farmer named that area Ojus because he wanted to grow pineapples in the rich soil. When Fitch was in the area, Ojus grew a lot of peas, beans, sugar cane, and tomatoes. The word Ojus is a Seminole word that means “plenty” or “a lot of.” 

Famous Landmarks in North Miami

The Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux

There was a start to building the Monastery of St. Bernard de Clairvaux around 1133. It was near Segovia in northern Spain. The Monastery was finished eight years later in 1141. It was built for the Blessed Mother and was called the ‘Monastery of Our Lady, Queen of the Angels’ at the time. Bernard of Clairvaux was made a saint in 1174, so the Monastery was changed to honor him. Bernard was a Cistercian monk, a mystic, and the founder and leader of a monastery called Clairvaux. Bernard was a powerful church leader in his time. Cistercian monks have lived in the Monastery for about 700 years now. When there was a social revolution in the 1830s, the Cloisters of the Monastery were taken and sold. They were then turned into a barn and a granary.

The Art Deco Historic District
