What is the history of Miami?

Florida was ceded to the United States in 1821 by Spain. The area that is now Miami was known as Biscayne Bay Country into the late 19th century, when Julia Tuttle, a local citrus grower from Cleveland convinced Henry Flagler to extend the Florida East Coast Railway to the area. During the Great Freeze of 1894-1895, the citrus groves around present day Miami were the only ones to survive, and the city became incorporated in 1896 with a population of 300. Today, Julia Tuttle is known as the mother of Miami.
